McDonough (Georgetown) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

It's on the Welcome Website, which can be accessed by right clicking the link in your offer letter and opening in a new tab or window (I've seen a couple of posts on the thread about the links not working. Not true!). Once logged into the site, you go to "community," "welcome events," "full-time MBA events," and then "welcome weekend more details." The registration link will be around the top/middle of the page. I also registered for the MBA Club Happy Hour happening on April 3rd. I look forward to meeting all of my fellow admits!! #hoyasaxa

In, anyone hear anything regarding scholarships?

Posted from my mobile device

I made it too. Happy day!

Any Evening program folks here? Please let me know, we can get in touch as I am considering this univ. very seriously.

Congrats to all selected .

Nope, nothing. I just got my admit letter and that was it.

I'm in. Got a voice mail followed by an email at 4pm. I'm from Florida. Application status is also updated.

Congrats to all students who have been admitted in Round 2. Looking forward to seeing most of you during the welcome weekend or this fall.

And all the very best to those who have been wait listed.

I would suggest all admitted students to join the group (link below) on Facebook. The group is a great resource to network with fellow admits, current students and admissions team members as well as get any questions/doubts clarified.

Wait-listed without an interview.

Indian applicant here. Got grad education and quite solid ECs; Work Exp is 7+ years (5 years in Middle East & SE Asia) in material handling, energy & utilities and general infrastructure sectors. Last 2 years were more project management, government liaison, operations & sourcing/procurement though. And now I'm looking for a strategy + operations dual focus training.

My GMAT ain't so good @ 680 (q-47, v-36], GPA is 3.2-ish and there's almost nil EC after college - I guess these are my weakness, which cannot be rectified within next few weeks. And getting wait-listed without an interview ain't a good sign, is it? Fervently hope this decision will be converted into a solid admit anyway. I went to a Jesuit school for 13 years and owe a lot to the good people of the Society of Jesus. Will I get another two years more in this Jesuit university?

So.. I was waitlisted after interview in R1 and now I've been asked to continue on the waitlist.
No email update; just status update on the portal.

Indian applicant here, so this waitlist is as good as a ding since visa won't fall through after the next update anyway.
Congrats to all you admitted folks! :

Congratulations to everyone admitted and Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear from GT.

If anyone hears regarding financial aid/scholarships please do post here !!

I only got an e-mail saying there is an update on the application "Georgetown MBA Important Update"
No calls yet. I am very happy that I got the offer !!!!!!! Congrats everyone and hold tight waitlist people, perseverance is the key!

Does anyone know how and when we should expect to hear about scholarships?

It doesnt seem like any were reported this round yet

Hi,

I am an Indian applicant and have been waitlisted after an interview. Can somebody throw some light on the waitlist procedure, how it is cleared and when will we get to know the final result (considering the time that will go in visa processing post the result) ?

Also, are there any chances of getting a scholarship if i get a convert after being waitlisted ?

Any help and guidance will be of great help. Unfortunately, this college seems to be my best performance for the season

Regards,
Garv

Garv, I think we are in the same boat. I applied in round 2 as well and I have been wait-listed after an interview. Really interested to know when we will get to know the final decision and how much time we get to accept it.

@zxcv2014 and @garvsawhney, I was waitlisted as well, did you guys submit any supporting documents?

@mbastudent312, I have not submitted any supporting documents. Do you think it is really required ?
I don't have much to add in any case.

@zxcv2014 and @mbastudent312 : i have got a promotion this month, so i will be submitting a supporting document for the same. Rest donno much abt this.

You guys have any other school in had ? Also can u pls share ur profiles, I have a background in IT operational consulting.

From what I've gleaned reading the online forums, there are no specific details about how people get off the waitlist. If there are admitted candidates who don't accept the offer of admission, thereby creating vacancies, the adcom will then turn to the waitlist, I presume. Nothing much that you can do to get off the waitlist, unfortunately. :-/ Sending any additional documentation may not be of much help. If I were to take a guess, there may be movement around the R2 deposit deadline, by when Gtown will have an idea of who is accepting admits and who isn't. Then they might start looking at candidates on the waitlist. Again, I'm just speculating. There was an R1 applicant who posted upthread saying that he's been asked to continue on the waitlist, so who knows when things will move. Keeping in mind the visa process, it may be better to start looking at alternatives.

EDIT: unlikely that there will be any scholarship money left as it gets closer to R3.
