Hi there, I've got the invite just now and did not receive a confirmation email for completing the application. In the portal, it says "Application - Submitted. Congratulations! Your application is under review."

Hope it helps.

Hi all, finally created an account to start sharing my B-school journey.

I got an invite to interview yesterday and went into the portal to find someone to interview with, and most of Adcom's dates are unavailable until early March. Tried setting up an interview with a student club member based on post-MBA goals, but nothing is open on their calendar as well. Should I write to the school or wait for a little to see if anything opens up?

Hi guys, I plan to apply for R3. I attended an information session on 8th Feb so that I could get an application fee waiver. I assumed that the fee waiver would be automatically applied to the folks who attended the webinar.

I now realise that Georgetown needs a ‘Fee Waiver Code’ which I might have missed in the 15 mins I took a break from the webinar. Can anyone help me know how I can get the waiver code?

I suggest you talk to current students/alumni about tips and tats. That was a great experience for me

I got the interview invite yesterday and I also have the same question as shaunak.
Whom should we choose as our interviewer? Any particular pointers and reasons for the same would be super helpful.

And +1 for the interview prep session. Thanks in advance Nikhil!.

For those who have received interview invites, how are you selecting your interviewers?

Selected based on Post MBA goals. This was suggested by some current students.
Also, select the person who has slots avaiable for an earlier possible date.. The sooner the better.

Posted from my mobile device

No slots are available for any student with my post-MBA goals. I guess I'll be interviewing with a member of the admissions staff only.
Could anyone please share their interview experience with an admissions staff member?
