For the Full-time MBA program, the average GMAT score increased 14 points, from 691 to 705, making this year’s class the most selective in program history. The school also saw a 10% increase in applications, a 7% increase in yield, and a 9% improvement in the selectivity rate.

A total of 20% of the students are underrepresented minorities, up from 19% last year, and U.S. diversity increased from 38% to 40% — both also the highest ratios recorded for the program. The enrollment of women was steady at 32%, and the international student representation increased from 28% to 37%. This year’s class represents 37 different countries.

Hi Khulan

How can I know whether the panelist is from a similar field, do I have to go check on linkedin for each option of panelist?

I interviewed with an AdCom member about an hour back. Had a really great experience. Walk me through your resume. Why MBA. Why McDonough. Goals. Tell me about a time you stepped back for the betterment of a situation.(caught me a bit off guard) Tell me about a time you had to persuade someone to look at things your way. Top 3 strengths. Any questions for me. She was pretty impressed and remarked that my chances are good!

Hope this helps hanowaswiss,

I just got an email from McDonough with subject ’application update’ that my application is successfully submitted and that I may be contacted for interview after a ’preliminary review’. I submitted the application on Sept ~27 and got this email today. Is this normal?
