People who converted the waitlist - any tips?

Posted from my mobile device


submitted a supplement essay (expressing continued interest, mentioned about current student/alumni interactions and plans about contributing to the local community); completed 2 quantitative courses from coursera (accounting and statistics)

­Thanks! Did you submit the supplement essay along with the waitlist confirmation or seperately? (There's a box for a 150 word essay with the yes/no confirmation and I just want to know if I'll get a chance to accept my position first and submit the essay later).

As I understood, the waitlist confirmation essay is an action plan and supplemental essay is more general, i.e. what you've already done to improve your application. Once you send your cofnirmation for the waitlist, you'll receive the waitlist webinar invite and in that webinar they explain all details. After that webinar, in a couple of days you'll receice a link where you can upload new materials, including the supplemental essay, i.e. you don't send anythng directly to the admissions.

To all the international appliacants, if you have not recieved any scholarship and considering taking out a loan, I would highly advise you to talk with currrent students and understand the job market. I have heard about people with 7,9 even 12 years of expericnce who had to return to their country because they could not land a job. Please excersice caution regarding the AI’s impact on the job market in the next two years , as its effects are already becoming apparent. Its bloodbath in IT and Finance and god knows what happents in next two years. I would highly reccomend going to schools which have offered you scholarships.

For context:

I think the problem persists with the job market scenario as of now. not many people are getting jobs after completing their MBA that is why such dubiousness.

But hopefully, the market may improve by the time we finish our MBA in 26.

Better to play safe and not go for GT, specially internationals (Assuming you don’t have scholarships above 80K)

I have not yet been interviewed from Georgetown, have been waitlisted since R2. I have again been waitlisted by them. What should I understand? Can the guys who got in after wait listing give me insights on the same.

It all depends on your goals and risk appetite. If you are flexible in recruiting plan and not top firms or die type of mindset, I think they place in second tier firms

While I agree to some extent with this message, this also serves to fear monger people into believing into hypothetical scenarios. A lot of it depends on you as an individual as well and what you bring to the table. And yes 7, 9, 12 YOE matters. AI has a long way to go. Don’t see it as something that is replacing your jobs. See it as something that compliments your job. Like a co-pilot.

MBA is what you make of it. Not every student gets scholarship (especially in McDonough because their yearly endowment is low compared to other B-Schools). If only students who got scholarships went for an MBA, you would have no student body. While its true that the market is bad, it is very likely that in 2026, we see an upward curve. Be flexible to more roles, have a back up plan, network, give your best and you will be fine.­

^ Easier said than done. With $200k loans pending over international students head who enter without a scholarship at a T25 like GT , even a distinct possibility of not having good career prospects post MBA, it’s just not worth it in this economy.
