Required Materials
Applications must be completed through the online portal. Requests for exception must be submitted via email explaining the need to use a paper application. A completed application must include a one- or two-page resume, transcripts, GMAT or GRE scores, responses to essay questions, two letters of recommendation from direct supervisors or clients, and a $175 application fee.
Non-native English speakers who have not graduated from an institution in which English is the language of instruction are required to submit TOEFL or IELTS exam scores to demonstrate proficiency. Official scores must be sent directly from the testing agency and received by the deadline of that round. The application remains incomplete until the scores are received and unofficial test-taker copies are not accepted. 
U.S. Military service members and veterans will receive an automatic application fee waiver generated upon submission of the application. Forte MBA Launchers, current Peace Corps Volunteers, and Teach for America employees are exempt from the application fee and must request a fee waiver. Applicants should not pay the application fee if they meet waiver criteria as reimbursements are not issued.
Candidates in their senior year of undergraduate study may apply to Goizueta’s Early Admit MBA. Accepted candidates will receive deferred enrollment while gaining two to five years of experience in the workforce and access to Goizueta resources.
What is the Emory / Goizueta Interview Process?
Interviews are by invitation only after an initial review of the completed application. All application materials must be received by the deadline to be considered. Interviews can be on-campus or virtual and require business attire and an updated professional resume.

What are my chances for the above colleges for a MBA and can I expect any scholarship?
Should I retake the test? Planning to apply in R1
Two-time founder (marketing agency during undergrad, then a fintech post-graduation), ex-Kearney consulting, currently on the founding team of a boutique financial consulting firm. Based in Pakistan, 29. Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. Undergrad from LUMS (top business school in Pakistan) with a 2.91 GPA, which I know is my main weakness.
Targeting HBS, Stanford, and MIT Sloan for R1. I'm aware these are reaches given my GPA. GRE is in progress, currently retaking to push into the 315 to 320 range with a strong quant score to offset the academic profile.
Post-MBA goal is to scale into senior operating or founder roles in fintech and financial services, building on my consulting and startup background.
GMAT/GRE waiver, realistically what are my chances? I have 4 major exercises and 1 deployment. The reason for the waiver is time constraints as I am currently deployed.
I'm a dentist from India exploring international MBA programs and would appreciate some advice from people who have either gone through a similar transition or have experience with MBA admissions and outcomes.
My long-term goal is to move into the healthcare/healthtech ecosystem, potentially in areas such as healthcare consulting, product management, healthcare strategy, or healthtech startups. I am particularly interested in leveraging my clinical background rather than moving into a completely unrelated field.
I'm currently evaluating MBA programs in Europe and Asia (Singapore, Japan, HongKong)
For context, I have a GMAT Focus score of 575 with 4 years of work ex within the clinical and corporate side of the healthcare sector

Frustrating that no feedback is given. Felt like I had a great profile/ fit for the program. Good luck to anyone else still waiting
