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:

  1. Applications had gone up from 1,428 to 1,642. That's about 15% up - that's significant!
  2. 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)
  3. 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.
  4. They have also published the average Focus Edition Score - 621, which is interesting as it is an equivalent of roughly 676 of GMAT classic.
  5. Average age - 29
  6. 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!

I recently received a GMAT Focus score of 665 and currently have 2 years of work experience, which will increase to 3 years by July 2025. I am looking to apply to MBA programs in the US and would appreciate recommendations for schools where my profile would be a strong fit. While I understand top 10 schools may be more competitive, I am particularly interested in programs ranked within the top 15-30 that value a combination of work experience, leadership, and academics. Thank you for your guidance!
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

The application does not have an option to upload additional/supporting documents. Anyone who has uploaded such a doc? Shall we just append in the coursera uploads option?

Yesterday I received a mail to submit some missing documents. So I think the applications may be in the sanity check stage.
