are you gonna do the int. request or wait for invite?

Not sure. What about you? Was thinking about waiting. Posted from my mobile device

same for me! submitted on 20th and status says "submitted". Though in my case, one of my evaluators mistakenly thought he had submitted the reco, but hasn't. But I've 3 recommendations, so my application is complete since they have received the other two. Any international students here who have been invited for interview?

Im in Guys...Submitted my applciation minutes before the deadline!!! IM an international applicant.. Anyways, my message center now states status as "submitted". But how do I know if they recieved my gmat scores and all otehr materials on time..as a matter of fact..did they receive that or not?? Help guys regards, kalyan

got tepper interview invite ~9am today... guess they sending them out now or they interviewing everyone like UNC? also, is it probably wise to make the trip for the interview since they only offer in person (preferred) at campus and skype/phone alternatives? i am about 7hr drive...

^^^ Congrats dude! When did you submit? I think it might be easier at Tepper to get an interview. All they require for an "open" interview is GMAT and Resume.

i submitted i think 4 days before deadline maybe? I gonna make the trip... it will cost me about 120$ in airfare and rental like 20ish so not too bad....
