Hello BTG,

I applied to a program for early ad. It has been 3 weeks now and I have not heard back from the school. What is the usual wait time from application to interview phone call?

Also, if you are not selected, how do they notify you and when?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Dear tdadic84,

It is not unusual to wait 6-8 weeks from the time you submit your application until you receive an invitation to interview. If you do not hear anything after 4 weeks, it would be reasonable to contact the admissions office to inquire if anything is missing from your application and confirm it was received. Most schools will post a "decision deadline" on their website for each application round. This deadline is the date by which all applicants in that round should hear a decision. Some schools will sent out decisions as they are made, but others wait to notify everyone on the same date. Hang in there and stay positive!

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
