Sigh... this wait is killing me. That Monday at work is going to be super-unproductive.

Just Monday? I've been a mess all week.

NGator60 and Garuda - thanks for adding your thoughts to the thread. I'm sure we'll have some questions for your (if not now than after 3/15) about what convinced you to pick McDonough.

Since the decisions are going to be rolled out soon, all the best for those awaiting responses from Georgetown. I have decided to go to Georgetown and would love to see you all this fall as my fellow classmates. If I could be of any help, please drop in a message, it would be my pleasure to be of any assistance.

And those who are anxious, I can understand as I was going through the same couple of months ago. Just hang in there and be positive !

Once again, all the best !

Hi garuda,

Congrats on your admit and thanks for the offer of support. This last week can't go by any faster :| . I was wondering if you would be willing to share your profile as well as the type/amount of financial aid you got. I would love to get admitted to Georgetown, but would also enjoy some sort of scholarship since I've received offers from other schools so far.

Thanks!


Well I have given a rough information with my score and other details on my gmatclub profile and I have also sent you a message.

Will the decisions be released early or only on that notification date?

Posted from my mobile device

well the decisions were given on jan 14th at and around 5:30 PM EST......but then 15th was a weekend.....and hence we got it on jan 14th.....when i had my interview with the Adcom, i specifically asked if the decisions would be out before the due date or maybe after....for which i got the reply that all decisions for a particular round will be announced on the same day that is mentioned on the website. So even if they have taken a decision about your candidacy, they will release it on march 15th ! (but i personally would prefer it to be before 15th...!!)

hardly 6 more days to go.........so keep your fingers crossed...and all the best !

True, many of the consulting roles at Georgetown are in the federal space - a function of our location, our base of alums, and also the specific interest of some candidates (better work-life balance and less travel in federal consulting). With that said, those of us interested in the commercial space have had success at the top tier firms in recent years, both in full-time and internship recruitment. As 2012applicant has stated, being proactive in the recruiting process is key - not all firms recruit on-campus (yet), but McDonough's brand in consulting is definitely on the rise (for various reasons) and more of our colleagues are getting noticed and scoring first and second round interviews.

Sorry for such a belated response. I didn't see this earlier.

Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to talk about consulting, as I'm focused on investment banking. It is true that the DC firms predominantly focus on federal consulting, but not exclusively. And current students are taking the initiative to travel to Boston and NYC to interview with firms. Heck, one of my classmates interviewed with McKinsey in Boston for a position in the firm's Middle East office.

What it really comes down to is being proactive in the recruiting process, networking through friends, family, undergrad alum, LinkedIn, etc. to find contacts at the firms where you want to work.

Yes, not all are federal consulting, but seems like majority of them are.

2012applicant, Can you provide more insight on this?

Consulting/banking isn't where I'm headed - but the difference in location seems pretty dramatic between the two schools. I think people in Chapel Hill have to fly in and out of Charlotte right? That's at least a two hour drive.

Having said that, if you're in-state Chapel Hill definitely has a cost advantage.

Out of curiosity, I wonder what % of UNC graduates ended up in Charlotte banking pre-recession compared to now.

Regarding flights: Most folks would fly out of RDU airport, which is not that far away at all and a pretty convenient airport.

*EDIT: I think Georgetown might make it more convenient to head up to NYC though (it's only a couple hours and $20 by bus at most).

Less than 2 days left! I just checked last year's thread. It looks like people started getting phone calls around 9am on decision day. I wonder if that will hold true this year?

I was thinking that because the R1 decision day fell on a Saturday - the processes might be different? It would be great if calls started going out a day early (tomorrow) like they did in R1 - but that might only be wishful thinking on my part.

Haha, do you know how many people just jumped back on this thread to see if someone else got an admit call?
