University of Georgia (Terry College of Business) Full-Time MBA program for the 2027 intake. Renowned for its tight-knit cohort structure, exceptional ROI, and ultra-focused market-driven curriculum, Terry offers a powerful footprint just outside Atlanta's booming corporate engine. Whether you are aiming for the early October priority deadline or pacing yourself for the winter funding rounds, consider this thread your community hub to coordinate, share strategic advice, and track your progress.
What are people talking about right now?- The Dual-Layer Identity Prompt (Essay 1): Structuring the core professional statement (up to 700 words) to seamlessly bridge your past professional story, personal inner drivers, immediate post-MBA targets, and explicit reasons for selecting Athens at this stage of your journey.
- The "Positive Impact & Inclusivity" Story (Essay 2): Navigating the 400-word team dynamics prompt. Applicants are choosing stories where they proactively drove a positive organizational outcome or went out of their way to foster an inclusive, welcoming community framework within a group.
- The Optional Video Essay Assessment: Swapping strategies for the unscripted video portal component. You have up to 5 unique attempts (with a new question prompt served up each time) to record a spontaneous, conversational video that shows your personality outside of a flat text document.
- The Test Waiver & Fellowship Intersection: Discussing whether to leverage Terry's comprehensive test waiver policy or submit a strong GMAT Focus or GRE score to bolster eligibility for their highly lucrative graduate assistantships and merit fellowship packages.
