With Pleasure!

Extra Curricular: Above average (Founder of Toastmaster club in a city, won NUS enterprise seed funding, started a charity club in Reliance for children education, some usual college and personal stuff)

GMAT: 740 (Q50 V40)

Interview:
There were two folks. One was '13 pass-out and other was '08. Both really nice guys. Interview started 15 min. late, I believe they were going through my application in that time. To begin with they picked few "highlights" of my profile and we had a casual discussion on some of those points. Later discussed career plans and about my research on them, few jokes here and there and it was over...Lasted for 20-25 min...

In all honesty, I felt they had already made up there mind on my application. More I'll come to know once results are announced today. Also I've given hell lot MBA interviews in past few years so I was ready for whatever comes up.

Wish to know anything specific? please let me know.

Also, is there anyone else in the forum who got invited in early decision round? I'm curious to know there experience and result...

Hii..

I am planning to apply in R2. I have already given GMAT but planning a retake in December.
My referee will be travelling in the month of December. I have entered his details in application form and saved the same.

The question is whether the recommendation letter will be sent to referee after I submit the form in December or they are sent as soon as enter the details in application form.

Relax. They roll out the interview calls based on location. I guess Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi calls have been rolled out for now (for the regular decision category).

Your evaluator will get a mail with link to a form that has the recommendation questions. The evaluator can reply there and submit it anytime, regardless of when you submit the application. If it is sent before you submit, you'll even see that information in the application form under Evaluation section, as status.
