Hello and Thank you everyone for applying for the GMAT Club PM Internships Fall 2022.

We have had a very competitive season with 3 positions and 19 applicants. We had 3 who applied without meeting the requirement of having an admit or an interview invite and despite your ideas, you were the easy targets to eliminate as we had highly qualified 16 other applicants. The tough part with the GMAT Club internship process is always to choose candidates. I wish I could pick everyone but that's not possible and with everone's strengths being different, it was really hard to make the call. However, I am happy to have gone through the process and have it behind me and thrilled announce the candidates that have been qualified for the positions:

1.  Decision   Tracker   -  thkkrpratik 
2.  Error   Log  -  ssmritisharma 
3.  GMAT Club   Tests  -  angelscry97

Thank you everyone who has applied for the internships. If anyone who has applied has questions about their application, I am always open to comment and help you understand how a potential recruiter would look at you and what is being evaluated.

Congratulations  angelscry97 ,  ssmritisharma , and  thkkrpratik .
I will be in touch with the next steps.

-BB.

Till now I have loved my experience and interaction with GMAT Club which is exactly why I wish to take my next step towards making gmat club community even better during the internship.  bb  do let me know if the team is still recruiting people for admitted students(I received my offer during R2)?

bb · Answer

Thank you so much. I am sorry to inform you that we completed the recruiting on March 3, 2023 this year. https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-pr ... 06915.html Thanks, BB

bb · Answer

Hello everyone. Thank you for your patience - I have an update on the following Products:

1. Error Log
2. Reviews

Both of these have been filled at this point. I am sorry if you have applied and did not make it. You don't really how hard it is to make choices on limited data points until you do. 
I am working on the Marketing and GMAT/GRE Integration.
Thank you and again sorry about the wait. It is a busy time at GMAT Club
