Below are highlights of the changes McDonough has made
Streamlined written essay options
The McDonough MBA Admissions team focuses on recruiting a competitive and diverse class. We're proud of the unique backgrounds that you bring to the class. As with previous years, we provide various options for essay prompts and ask you to choose only one, which allows you to highlight what makes you unique versus being forced to only answer one prompt. This year, we have streamlined the essay prompts to three options, instead of four, based on the top submitted prompts by previous applicants. These will allow you to dig deeper into the diversities and experiences in your life that have shaped who you are and what you will bring to the class.
Please select one of the following three essays to complete in 300-350 words (approximately one page, double spaced) and include the essay prompt and your first/last name at the top of your submission.
Essay Option One – Principled Leadership: Georgetown McDonough places a strong emphasis on principled leadership, providing both curricular and co-curricular opportunities to strengthen your leadership skills. Describe a time when you have led a team in a professional environment to implement a new idea or process. What leadership characteristics did you utilize? What could you have done to be more effective? And most importantly, what skills will you be able to bring to the teams you lead at McDonough?
Essay Option Two – Hoyas for the Common Good: Georgetown McDonough embodies the ethos that people and organizations can and should contribute to the greater good. The admissions committee would like to better understand how you have demonstrated these values during uniquely challenging times. Describe a time where you have put the needs of others ahead of your own or ahead of the bottom line. We look forward to learning more about the challenge you faced, what unique characteristics you brought to that scenario, and what you learned from it.
Essay Option Three – The Georgetown Community: Georgetown McDonough is a diverse, global community. We look to understand the contribution that your personal background would make to our community. As appropriate, you may wish to address any obstacles or challenges you have overcome; any educational, familial, cultural, economic, and social experiences that have helped to shape your educational and professional goals; or how your background (e.g. first-generation student, resident outside the U.S.) or activities (e.g. community service and leadership) will contribute to our community.

I haven't got an interview invite, but see a change on the portal - earlier there were options to 'Review Application' and 'Withdraw Application'. Now I see another - 'Start a New Application'
