It was a Zoom interview. I was asked:
- Why MBA?
- Why Georgetown?
- My short- and long-term goals?
- Plan B for short-term goals?
I was surprised to be asked how will I take care of myself mentally and conduct self-care during my time at Georgetown.

Received the call today right before noon EST from a Cambridge number. Was quite shaky and surprised since it was a week earlier than the school's announced decision deadline. To give clarity for other waitlisted students, I submitted 3 letters total: 1 from a former manager who completed her MBA in Cambridge (so I went for the why Boston angle), 1 from an alum, 1 from myself outlining a professional update + reasons why Sloan + how it all ties to what I can do for Sloan and what it can do for me. I believe these letters were absolutely crucial to convert the waitlist over to an acceptance. I did not visit campus nor did I attend virtual events.
I’m shaking and crying right now, I never thought I’d get into a school like this with the GMAT score that I have. To get off the waitlist, I submitted 2 letters of continued interest, networked heavily with alums and attended the waitlist chat. For anyone waitlisted, don’t give up - I had a rough MBA journey, but so glad it’s ended like this!
