One school I am interested in applying to (Georgetown) allows candidates to initiate interviews prior to Dec. After Dec. all interviews are by invitation only.

Is there an advantage to intiating the interview, or would it be better to wait for the ADCOM to review my admission packet and (hopefully) invite me to an interview?

Initiating an interview will show that you are truly interested in the school as a top choice, not merely a backup. Be proactive if you really want to communicate that Georgetown is a top pick.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
