Hi quizophobic,

Thank you for your help! I applied to Emory yesterday and have received the pdf version of the application but without the resume and the essays. Is it okay? How do I confirm if my application is complete? Should I contact the adcom?

Thanks.

Now I have got the username and password for OPUS but it is showing Essays, Resume etc 'Initiated' . Any idea what does this mean?

Thank you so much for your help with this.

One query : Do we have to send in the official GMAT and TOEFL scores (through gmac and ETS ) at the time of application or we can send the scanned version of score report when applying and later if we are accepted then send across the official report?!

Hi cristalBrut
I was on west coast trek visiting tech companies and had limited access to the internet, hence the delay in reply to your queries. Specific answers to your queries:

I'll be frank with you on this. Tech isn't a very popular industry here at Goizueta. We are a small school and very few people each yr are interested in Tech-sector. So Incode, Cox and AT&T are the only names that I can recall for the companies visiting Goizueta.

That said, each year, people apply directly or through the career mgmt center and join their dream companies in silicon valley. Adobe, Yahoo, Symantec, Oracle, amazon are some of the companies in which Goizueta techies have got an internship/full-time offer from.

b) How difficult/easy it is for an international to make a cut in the marketing sector in the US?

See my answer here (Emory University : Students taking questions).

It would be great if you can provide me the mail ids of some Emory students(internationals) who are into the marketing sector.

I am keen on interacting with the heads/members of these clubs to get a feel of the school, would it be possible for you to arrange their contacts?

Write to the adcom directly and they'll put you in touch with an appropriate person. Meanwhile, I'll try to get one of them on board here at Pagalguy.

c) How active are the clubs at Emory, specifically Goizueta Marketing Association?

GMA is one of the most active clubs here at Goizueta. It regularly hosts career-focussed sessions for guiding people interested in marketing. Besides,the club often partners with other clubs to host sessions for marketing opportunities in specific industries. We recently had a terrific session hosted by GTA (Goizueta Technology Association) and GMA on digital marketing and SEO, attended by industry and faculty experts. Next in queue is another session on WOM (Word of mouth) advertising.

I don't remember exactly and moreover, some procedures may have changed this year. So I'd recommend contacting the adcom. Alternatively, you can contact other co-applicants and ask them abt it.

OPUS updates are manually done and may take some time before the status changes to "Completed". I'd still recommend cross-checking with co-applicants/adcom, just to be sure.

Thanks Quizophobic for your response.. Regarding getting in touch with marketing students at the school, I have already mailed the admission office about 10 days back but havent gotten a response yet..

If it is possible for you to share a couple of contacts it would be wonderful..

Thanks once again for your answers!!

Thank you so much for your help with this.

Further it really bothered me when i saw Essays in my "TO-DO" list and i contacted the ad-com. They confirmed me that this is normal and they will update the status of my application within end of this week

I won't infer anything from this invitation. AFAIK, invitations for events like these are sent to everybody on school's mailing list for prospectives.

Still, do attend the event if you can. It's a great opportunity to see the school from inside and test whether it's a right fit for you.
