For me I had normal questions - I did stumble a bit on some of the TMAY questions - Mine was with a 2 year student. But she was just taking notes and didn’t say anything about the next steps or anything
hey could you share the behavioural ones please?

For R2 applicants, you may have a chance to get application fee reduction and receive priority consideration for interview if you apply before Dec 2.

if you plan to apply in this timeline, it is better to ask application fee reduction code from the admissions

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your interview debrief! I have an interview in a couple weeks and I'm excited/nervous. Wondering if you could briefly touch on question #10 from your post? I know that McDonough has an early start for Y1s with career prep classes and webinars-- is that what this question is referring to? Is there some other unique aspect about their recruiting cycle I am missing? Or was it a question about recruiting at B school in general?

Thanks :)

5. How does consulting (my current role) compare with Investment banking (post-MBA goal)?
6. What do you like about McDonough or Washington?
7. What do you dislike about your current job?
8. How would you contribute on campus?
9. What other school(s) did you apply to?
10. Do you understand how recruiting works here?
11. Any question for me.

Good luck to everyone in your interviews.

What'd be the best option for McDonough in terms of GRE-GMAT?

I've my GMAT slated for 29th November; however, I'm not very much sure that I'd be able to go pass 710 mark.
Whereas I appeared for GRE Diagnostic from Kaplan & Magoosh, I was able to score Q170 in 25 mins of time frame against stipulated 35 mins. Although, I'm struggling with Verbal i.e. V150, I still think with 2 weeks of intense prep can take this too V157-160 or maybe even more.

I'm just confused what should I do now given that I'm targeting R2 and cannot wait for next year or delay it to R3?

Any other R1 applicants still waiting on an interview request? I know they mentioned that interview invites are being issued on a rolling basis, but with the December results deadline approaching I'm beginning to get nervous.
