Each response should be no more than 40 words. What are your short-term post-MBA career goals? How will your professional experience and the Goizueta MBA help you to achieve those goals? What’s a fun fact about you that you would like the committee to know? Essay Question 1 Goizueta Business School’s mission is to prepare principled leaders to have a positive influence on business and society. Identify a personal account of a time you effectively demonstrated your leadership skills. Respond to one of these two prompts: What about this experience made you feel proud of your leadership abilities? What did this experience teach you about leadership? (300-word limit) Essay Question 2 Our lived experiences shape who we are and the aspirations we have. As a values-driven community, we care about what has shaped your life. Please share what or who has had the biggest impact on your life. (300-word limit) Video Essay Telling your story through written essays is an important part of the application, but the video essay lets us hear your words in your own voice. In the required video essay, every candidate will answer a “small talk” question to help the MBA Admissions Committee get to know you. The video essay instructions and link are located in your application portal. Optional Essay Still have more to share? This optional essay is your opportunity to share something you couldn’t find a place for on your application. This is also where you should address anything the committee may question (e.g., gaps in employment, academic challenges, choice of recommender). You can use essay format or bullets. Please identify topics if more than one is addressed. (500 word limit) Goizueta Class Profile Class of '26 Avg. GPA 3.5 Avg.

Does anyone’s portal show the application status as “Awaiting Materials” even though all the materials are checked off?

Hey folks, have interview invites started coming?

Does the unofficial GMAT score suffice initially after application submission? Can we share it once things progress or we get an admit etc ?

Hi Apoorv, Official GMAT scores are required for the application to be deemed complete

My application checklist shows everything as ticked, but the status still says “awaiting material.” Is anyone else in the same boat? If anyone has experience with R1 admissions, could you please share how long this usually takes?

Yep same here with awaiting material, previous threads have had the same experience. And I think Emory ticks it off manually.

just checked my application status is under review, fingers crossed

I got an email asking for more documents yesterday
