Hi, anyone applied for GMAT/GRE waiver and got it approved? How long it took to get the approval?

according to the website information it’s Sep 9. I copied the release date info below.
COVID-Accessibility Test Waiver Application final decisions released by: Sept. 9, 2021 (End of day, EDT).
If you want to confirm, here is the link. https://msb.georgetown.edu/mba/georgeto ... er-policy/

sorry, I cannot give you a convincing response to your answer. Maybe it is better to ask directly from the admissions officer. But personally, I rather avoid choosing the same question prompt and same answer. I would prefer a different question out of four to show myself from a different angle.

I'm attending that right now. before this was attending the application workshop. Any idea by when they get back to us with the application fee waiver/reduction details?
Also, have any of you been able to get in touch with a specific student ambassador?

It took 1-2 days to receive application fee waiver or reduction email.

I contacted to the student ambassadors.
