Did they tell you who is interviewing you beforehand? adcom or alumni?

Congratulations on interview invite and good luck ! Can you share you profile and when did you submit

Interviewer is unclear but I’ve heard it can either be adcom, a 2nd year, or adcom with a 2nd year in training shadowing the call But likely adcom I think Indian American 3.6/4.0 GPA, 331 GRE applied mid August Went to Emory Goizueta undergrad 4.5 YOE primarily in PMM in healthcare and health tech Trying to pivot into healthcare IB Outside of work been involved in intramural sports + leading workplace Asian employee resource group, nothing super special

Hi, would advise the group to check the portal, I did not receive e-mail but my portal states "schedule interview"

Finished my interview. Was chill. Idk if this happened in previous years but he said that I can expect to hear back between 10/31 and first week December re decision
