Sry but when you receive the interview invitation from Johnson and how long it took from under review to schedule interview?

Hi, I guess it's 2 weeks from under review to schedule interview. An adcom reached out to me last 2 weeks ask for my IELTS retake (failed requirement of all components > 7.0) but then they noted my situation on Oct 16 and I received the interview invitation a day ago (at the time I update the status here)

Hi mate, just wonder about GMAT test in VN, did you test in HCMC? And how was a testing center?

Yo. I tested in HCMC. They got 8 computers; 3-4 of them for GMAT, but others are used for other standardized test (PMP, etc.). However, GMAT computers are located in the corner of the room so you may not be distracted by those taking other tests. IMO, it's "testable" but not in the best quality and I would prefer taking online test.

Salute for the answer. Anyway, congratulation for your offer.

Hi Tra Truong,
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out! I saw that we have a similar background—I also got a 675 and come from a consulting role. I’m currently exploring my options and was really inspired by your profile. If you don’t mind sharing, could I ask whether your work experience was based on a English speaking country? And was it with a well-known international firm or a local company?
Really appreciate your time, and thank you in advance!
