CBS J-term applicant here.
Several days after my interviewer (alumn) submit the feedback on my interview, the assistant director admission emailed me to arrange a call? She said in the email she has a few follow-up questions regarding my application.

Any of you guys experienced this before (i.e. follow up call after interview) ? What will the admission team ask?

Thanks a lot!

Impossible for us to know. Seems this isn’t standard unless they have something specific they want to clarify.

I’ve heard of this (not CBS specific) when an alum interviewer gives very vague feedback / not helpful. AdComm sometimes steps in to get the answers they need to move forward.

Be prepared for anything that came up in the interview \ your essays \ your resume to be fair game

Ok. Thanks for the advice!

For undergrad I applied ED to a school and I missed a call and had a voicemail left with something similar. When I called back they told me I was accepted! Are you international? I think CBS does this for people outside the US.

Yes I'm international. I really hope what you mentioned is the case for me as well !

In the email, the adcom mention specifically that she has a follow-up questions. So might not be an offer call i guess. 😅

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
