Hi guys,

Completed my interview today. Not as casual as I was expecting, but definitely not classifiable as a stress interview.
Wanted to ask if decisions are gonna come out only on the 15th of Dec, or anytime in between.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!

I got an extension till the 8th for reapplication. I thought it was simply because I had applied last yr during the last round, and had got waitlisted and then denied.
Basically because I'm a reapplicant.
Any other reapplicants who got a deadline extension.

FROM McDonough Admissions Blog: Georgetown University is the oldest Jesuit University in the...


Georgetown University is the oldest Jesuit University in the United States, but how does that influence your time as a student in the McDonough School of Business? Georgetown McDonough strives to educate business leaders who are committed to improving the world for themselves and others. We are “men and women in service to business and society.” Zack Smith, second-year MBA and student ambassador, shares how the importance of our Jesuit values influenced his decision to choose Georgetown.

Choosing Georgetown McDonough was an easy decision for me. It came down to being a good fit with my personality, experiences, and future goals. I know that Georgetown McDonough - more than any other business school -valued my non-traditional background. After graduating from Bates College, I taught for a year in Thailand, then served as a school advisor in South Africa for the Peace Corps. After developing a global perspective abroad,  I returned home to Boston to work two years as a non-profit manager before deciding to get my MBA.        
Georgetown McDonough’s international emphasis was a big draw for me. Over 30% of the student body is international which makes for diverse class discussions and unique perspectives. It seems like every case we discusshas a student with firsthand experience of the subject-matter - from a student sharing insights based on years managing a manufacturing plant in China to a student who had worked in the finance department of a hospital we were studying. I personally shared my insights in a  marketing class on on the challenges I faced constructing AIDS awareness campaigns in developing countries.
Another draw for me was the business ethics component of the program. This theme begins in Opening Term when we discuss ethical situations, such as what responsibilities corporations have to workers along their global supply chain. We also discussed whether a firm could operate a product or business unit that wasn’t profitable but would ultimately end up serving society as whole. This perspective is not just discussed in the classroom - students here really do care about their impact and know that business can be a force for good in the world. For someone with my background, this was an important consideration.
Ultimately, I chose Georgetown for the community. After attending a classroom visit during Experience Georgetown and having meaningful conversations with current students, I knew this was the school for me. I’ve been very happy with my decision. Walking into the Rafik B. Hariri building every day, I know that I will be challenged by a supportive group of professors, students, and staff.

Have a 740 and yet to get an invite. I don't think GMAT is the only or the major criteria. Just hope that they haven't got to your application yet.

Already interviewed with a 690 GMAT.

I know GMAT is taken into account considering background and where you are applying from, plus it is not necessarily the major criteria.

Cheers!
