The application guideline specifically mentions that applicant initiated interviews should be completed by the deadline for the particular application round. Since we applied for the December 9th Round, I am not sure if we are allowed to initiate an interview for us. By the way where are you from in USA?
I had the same impression going into the application process, but read the following on the Goizueta site under "How to Apply". So, sounds like open interviews before the deadline or invited interviews after the deadline. I felt swamped in the essay writing process and so I opted to just wait on the interview. I hope that won't come back to bite me. Oh, and yes, I'm US based. 6.5 hours driving from Atlanta, so I might do that for the interview, hoping it comes.
Interview
An evaluative interview is required of all applicants before an offer of admission can be extended. Interviews are offered on campus and in select cities around the world. Interviews are open to candidates until the application deadline of the round in which you apply. After that round deadline date, your application will be considered for an invitation to interview within that round. All interviews, regardless of type, are evaluated equally in the admissions process. You are encouraged to plan ahead, as interviews fill up quickly around the deadline. For more information on scheduling an interview, please visit our Interviews page.
