Admissions

The Georgetown MBA Program recognizes that the business school application process requires much time and effort. Our MBA Admissions team is a resource for you as you work through the process. Every application for admission is read carefully by at least two members of the Admissions Committee. Applications are then discussed in committee before a final decision is made. We are committed to ensuring that our process is a personal one, and by the time a decision is made on your file, we feel as though we know you.
 
We seek to enroll as diverse a class as possible, and we welcome applications from individuals who have different professional backgrounds, undergraduate majors, and life experiences. As we review applications, we evaluate a candidate's professional experience, academic aptitude, and personal qualities. We conduct a comprehensive, holistic review of each candidate's resume, letters of recommendation, academic record, test scores, essays, record of extracurricular involvement, and evaluative interview.
 
Competitive applicants for admission hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and will have at least two years of post-baccalaureate work experience by the time they begin classes in August. On average, students begin our MBA program with five years of post-baccalaureate work experience. Our Fall 2011 entering class profile provides useful information for applicants.  In addition, we encourage you to connect with MBA Student Recruiters and to Experience Georgetown during a campus visit.  These types of personal interactions will help you to gauge your fit for our program and ultimately will help you to craft compelling essays which speak to why you belong at Georgetown.
