Anyone looking to apply this year?

Hi Everyone! McDonough has released the new class profile - class of 2026 👍 https://msb.georgetown.edu/full-time-mba/class-profile/ Not a whole lot of changes from last year but a few notable mentions are: Applications had gone up from 1,428 to 1,642. That's about 15% up - that's significant! 49% of the students are international (this is a bit high. I don't remember what it was last year but this is a bit up there) Average Test Scores have ticked up just a tiny bit. GMAT went from 695 to 696 (Classic Score) and GRE went up from 318 to 319 . They have also published the average Focus Edition Score - 621, which is interesting as it is an equivalent of roughly 676 of GMAT classic. Average age - 29 Percentage taking the GRE - 44%!

Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out as I recently decided not to pursue an MBA at this time. As a result, I have an unused subscription to Amerasia Consulting’s MBA admissions services (one of the best consultants for MBA abroad). Website: https://lnkd.in/g_8cRaJH I understand these subscriptions can be quite expensive, and I’m hoping to find someone who might be interested in taking it over. The subscription includes guided help with the following: 1. Personal branding and school selection 2. Essays strategy and editing 3. Resume editing 4. Letters of recommendation guidance 5. Review of final submission package 6. School interaction guidance 7. Mock interview 8. Waitlist guidance Please let me know if you’re interested or know someone who might be. I’m happy to provide more details about the subscription. Thanks. Have a great day! #mba #mbaadmissions

it will be pointless to make b-school suggestions if you are not applying at this point. However, you will benefit from looking at b-school websites and making connections with students, specifically for the programs that attract you. Also, now is the time you should be working to build you profile and make it super strong for next year. This can mean enhancements to your work profile, higher GMAT (you can plan a retake to move the score up) and building up your extra-curricular activities.

Any idea how to upload the test report of GMAT Focus? We don't get the test report in the Focus edition.

Screenshots would do actually, but in case school has a preference other than that they can let you know. Most of my clients just uploaded screenshots in the past cycle It is just that in the older GMAT they had a PDF report sent to all the test takers that was asked by the school
