Hi guys,
Sorry I didn't visit forum for a while. Thanks for keeping this thread alive.
I'm doing GMSC right now(I wrote in my application as a reason to choose Emory, but had no idea about it. Now I already know. It's fantastic. I'm doing a marketing strategy consulting project for a wonderful company, with real issue, real $$$. Have been learning a lot of things. They may offer us internship as well).
For those who got admits: congratulation. I'm really looking forward to seeing you here !!! Do try to make it to welcome weekend. We'll showcase you the school and the community. For international students, I'm thinking of broadcasting some parts of the WW to you (Not sure yet. btw, I'm in the international students committee for the WW)).
For those who got waitlisted: dont be discouraged. This year has been even more competitive with >200 apps up. Several things I would recommend:
1/ take GMAT again. I know it's painful, but it really worths. Let the admission office know that you're planning for it as well. One of our core value is courage, as you may know.
2/ Another recommendation alone will not help much, IMHO. Do try, but show some other commitments along with it.
If I can be any assistance, do let me know. I'm more than happy to help out.
