We need to revert by December 16. Anything specific you guys are planning to update them on apart from the score? I’m a little confused as to how this works. We can’t change our GPAs can’t have impactful community work In 1 month.. so what’s the trick? What can help the waitlist move

GMAT only. I’m a reapplicant.

I was waitlisted last year. With 800+ others in R2. Had 710 GMAT last year. Improved it to 740 this year.

Sorry, no idea about these two schools. This 800 number was given by an AdCom member during the waitlist seminar in late March 2021.

I don’t think everyone will choose to remain on the waitlist though

I’m sorry. But I went through the same thing last year. I don’t want anyone to have false hope and wait. Improve your GMAT, that’s the only way especially for an Indian.

Always appreciate the honesty man. Better to have a reality check and move forward accordingly

They’ll invite you to a waitlist webinar, mostly next week. Will inform you about the timelines.

Would suggest that you stay and improve your score to 730+ if possible

Ridiculous. Waitlisted with interview. My interviewer said she had never seen somebody more prepared or thorough. Clearly everything is about GMAT. They aren’t even a T15 school. Holistic my foot.

710 is higher than the average GMAT for Georgetown. How would you rate your experience and other aspects of the portfolio. Or perhaps since you are international, they just need a higher GMAT?

They just want to hog high GMAT scores to boost their average even further and get more PR.

Mcdonough has had the highest increase in GMAT scores for two consecutive years now

Is there anyone here under 710 who got accepted?

Hey guys, do you think it’s worth enrolling into McDonough without any scholarship? :/

Or do you think if I write to the adcom asking for scholarship they might give some?
