Emory 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Also haven't heard anything for round 2 interview invite.

Even though they said not to, I contacted admissions this week by email to see what my status was. Very nice response from Pam Lewis, who is their applications manager:



I think I'm sunk for R2... maybe I'll get waitlisted and invited to interview in a future round. I'm pretty bummed because Goizueta has a lot of unique features that make it more appealing to me than many higher-ranked schools.

The only other reason I could imagine things are taking this long is I also applied for one of their new center-based fellowship programs. They said applicants will be reviewed for fellowships by late February, but I figured they would make an admit decision in the round you applied then consider the fellowship piece separate. Don't know.

Hello all,
I just had my interview this afternoon. The interviewer was very pleasant and warm. In fact so warm you could just keep talking to her!
She started off by asking me to walk her through my resume and then asked
1. about a situation where I faced adversity,
2. about what I do during the weekends,
3. How would my colleagues describe me,
4. How would I like my peers and professors at Goizueta to remember me after my MBA,
5. How would I contribute at Emory apart from in academics
6. I told her that I liked travelling and she asked to describe one crazy thing that happened during one of my trips (I wasn't sure why she asked me this question though hmmm..)
7. She also asked about why I chose my choice of career
8. What I was looking for in a b-school
9. Did I face situations where I faced alot of opposition when I tried to present an idea
10. why MBA now?

Then she asked whether I had any questions for her. I asked her some 2-3 questions. Oh yeah, in the beginning she did ask how I found the whole application process.

That's all I can remember. I never thought she asked so many questions till I wrote this down here!

I don't know how I fared in the interview though . I hope it wasn't all that bad!

Great job, recalling all the questions. All the best! Remember, it's no longer in your hands, so no need to worry.

I can not find a place to upload transcript in Goizueta application system.
Can someone help me out? Thanks!

The FAQ's on the website says:


Can you use the same button that you used to attach your essays to attach another file? (I've already submitted my app, so I don't have access to that page any more)

On the tab that reads "Attach essays, resumes, etc", there is an option to upload files. The system does not limit the number of files attached , so i am attaching all my files in that section. (resume,essays,transcripts,degrees)
Hope this helps.

There is always the option to email the transcripts to the adcom. This is what they have to say in the application "If you are unable to attach your file you can mail, fax or email your documents to the Admissions Office."

Hi All! I just found this forum and thread, wish I'd found it sooner! As a GBS 2012 applicant, I would LOVE to find more message boards, forums, etc. for information about the application process, feedback, admits, etc.

Can anyone recommend some resources, please?

I suppose you could ask it here I checked their website mostly.

Thanks! I have their website memorized! It's just nice to have the "behind the scenes" knowledge and tips

Done!! Submitted for Rd3!! Already Interviewed on-campus..

That was my last app for the season and hopefully my last ever B-school app...

Good luck all...

Hey everybody,
I just found this forum. Is it a good, bad, or indifferent sign if Goizueta admissions starts following you on twitter?

I wouldn't say it is a bad thing unless you posted something negative about Emory. Did you start following them before they started following you?

I definitely P.C. on my page, which I hardly ever use in the first place other than getting information.

Yea, im a big fan if the program and I already followed them first so luckily I don't look like a fair weather fan. Shoot, I'm going have to start expounding on issues of great intellectual depth and meaning on twitter so I can solidify this thing!

Or I could wind up looking like an idiot and get dinged.....

Haha.. my 2 cents would be to not change your normal style of tweeting (frequency, tweet #s) now that they started following you. Just don't put too much thought into it. Is your interview over?

Lol, yea I plan on playing it cool... I don't want to seem fraudulent all o a sudden.

I interviewed Monday after their supersaturday event. The interview felt good, but I run my mouth for a living so my self-awareness could be off.

Basically walked through my resume, specific questions about work scenarios, my future goals, my family, and why MBA/Emory. Everyone I met was very nice and Atlanta is a much more desirable city than I once thought.

I'm just ready to get this party started.
