Hey guys,
I am planning to apply for R2.I have a question regarding the transcripts for Non -US Institutes. The application instruction states


"Students who have attended or graduated from a non-U.S. college or university must submit their academic documents according to World Education Services (WES) Standards.

 Academic transcripts must list the course name and grades received.
 A diploma /degree certificate that shows the date that the degree was conferred is also required."


Does this mean that I have to get a WES evaluation done or just that the transcript must contain the degree and the list of courses with their respective grades.Another thing is that my college transcript mentions that the medium of instruction was ENGLISH.So am I eligible for the TOEFL waiver or do I have to submit one?

Thanks in advance for the help...

Did anyone get an interview invite in the last one week ?

Posted from my mobile device

I got an invite on Dec 1. I also received an invite from Tepper on the same day (where admission decisions are due on Dec 15th). It appears that these schools are giving out interview invites right upto the decision dates. Good luck folks!

just had my interview with the Dean, all same questions as mentioned earlier except "What is a recent article you've read and talk about both sides of the argument."
I interviewed with the Dean and had the same article question.
Mostly same questions as posted in the previous posts but more follow up questions on my work experiences.
However, I was told the decision would be out on 18th instead of 20th.
Anybody heard that too? I forgot to confirm with the Dean though!!!
Good luck everyone!

Hi All

I have read at certain places that the school extends the interview invite till the decision date i.e. 20th December.

I have been waiting for an interview invite from the school. I had submitted the application before the round 1 deadline.

Recently I received an email asking me to update my contact information. Has anybody else here received the same email?

I am not sure why are they asking us to do this at this point of time.. Is it a routine for them every year???

I got the same email. I think they just want to be sure you haven't moved or changed phone numbers since you submitted your application because they will 1) call you to let you know that you got in and 2) send you something in the mail.

As for your interview question, I really couldn't say, but I have heard something similar. Hang in there!

I had my Skype interview on the 3rd with couple of interviewers - one MBA2 & one MBA1.
I think this was unique as I haven't heard anyone having couple of interviewers in a Skype call.

MBA2 was similar in age to me I believe - between 30 & 34. I am turning 34 tomorrow..:).

Questions:

1. Resume/Past work experience
2. Why MBA now, Why MBA from US & Why Georgetown
3. Most important question around my age and the proposition of an MBA considering I will be in a class with most students in late 20s.
MBA2 told me that even he had some difficulty in convincing recruiters about his age and his target function of IB but he was successful.
I was also informed that I wouldn't be the oldest one in the class for sure :)
4. Interests outside of work
5. A general question around what is the biggest risk to the Financial markets at this time.

Through out the interview Skype was behaving weird and they were unable to hear me intermittently though I was able to hear them perfectly alright.
But they were fine with it.

Hope that helps others - especially older applicants.

For those who were unable to attend the international festival, it was a blast! each regional/country affinity club provided food followed by presentations/skits by the students. students are so talented and skits were awesome!

With the sort of impressive admits you have, I think you can very well not look at Georgetown.

Have a good time deciding which one to attend!

Thank you for the kind words! I agree but there is always the small possibility of a scholarship. If GTown gives me a scholarship than its may be super tough to turn down.

Has anyone else noticed that according to the chart on the front page, 2 people have said they have been admitted already??? I haven't heard anything since my interview, and my application status hasn't changed so just going to continue to worry in my little corner...

I noticed that too. Maybe someone had some sort of special circumstance? Either way, the majority of us are still in the same boat with you so I really wouldn't worry.

Also, I'll add:

I originally had Harvard in my list of schools and had selected "researching" however it appeared blue in my list as if I have been interviewed. Maybe there is a glitch with the school stuff.

So it looks like the calls started going out around 1 PM last year. Any idea if we can expect the same this year?
