Hello everyone!
Does anybody has any idea how strong in terms of number of application R1 is compared to last year rounds?

How everybody is feeling about the chances of getting the accepted this Friday?

Cheers!

They call starting around 7pm IST but in few cases they'll send Email if it's too late in the applicant's time zone

Hi Everyone!

First of all congratulations to everyone who has received an admit and all the best to others who are in the process currently. I am Umang Arora, Vice President, Admissions for the Student Government Association at Georgetown University, McDonough School of Business. I am planning to organize a couple of webinars in the next coming months to answer your queries regarding admissions, the transition to school, living, expenses, etc. Feel free to ping me at LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/umangarora/. I'll share my calendar as well later this month for a 1-1 chat if required.

Let me know what kind of queries/suggestions you have and I will try to incorporate them.

Hoya Saxa!
Umang Arora.

There's a LinkedIn group but it's pretty dry.

Nikhil I don't really feel comfortable publicly linking the LinkedIn group. The link is in the email McDonough sent to admits on 14 December. Subject line is "Welcome to Georgetown"

Sorry. I meant whether you would be able to share the following link in the LinkedIn group and ask them to tell us a bit more about their profiles. Absolutely no worries if you are comfortable sharing the following link in the LinkedIn group :)
