Had my interview @ Mumbai today, with David Jacobs.
Nearly identical questions to avalon, apart from a couple of specific questions on my roles in certain projects, and reason behind my job change.
Very conversational and fun !!! This was my first MBA interview, and I didnt, for a second, feel uncomfortable.

Good luck to all

Hey there.

I also sent an email to georgetownmba address but didn't get any reply. So I don't think that's the contact email address.

It was mostly behavioural, friendly and conversational. You may refer previous posts on what questions were asked.

All the best, buddy!!

PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, Bain, BCG, IBM, Citi, American Express & Amazon all hire internationals, although not all of their verticals hire international students (e.g. Deloitte Federal).

Companies that do not hire internationals for US positions are Capgemini, Cognizant, Navy Federal (I think), CSC, and Accenture. Hope that answers your question.

Does anyone have exact information about the recruiters who are open to recruit International candidates at MSB?

For e.g. do the various Consulting firms listed in the employment report recruit only for their Federal Consulting assignments?

Since my target is Strategy Consulting, I want to know exact details of such opportunities at McDonough.

I really wouldn't sweat it just yet. They release interview invitations in waves, so the people that have finished interviewing just happened to be in the first/second wave. I actually asked the Adcom member in my interview what their selection methodology was for interviews because I was surprised at how quickly I heard back after submitting my application (not that I was complaining, just curious). She said something along the lines of, we try to interview as many people as possible and your application must have just been at the "top of the pile."

Also, for everyone out there saying it is solely your GMAT and GPA that get you the earlier interview slots, keep in mind that I submitted my application with a 640 GMAT and didn't get my higher score until a few days before the interview invitation.

Hello Everyone

I want to know which are the best known courses at McDonough. What I really want to know is is it more suitable for pursuing a career in Marketing, or Consulting, or Finance or General Management.
It would be wonderful if your replies could carry the reasons why you think, what you think.

Thanks a lot in advance.
