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.
MBA Applywire
I am originally from the UK (now a permanent resident) and went to community college (3.6 gpa), then transferred to a top 25 undergrad and severe health issues due to a disability causing me to get a 3.1 gpa. I then stayed there and did a master’s in finance with a 3.8 gpa. I am very passionate about giving back, especially about the homelessness epidemic. Before college I spent a year in Switzerland volunteering at homeless shelters. During college I led a campus ministry with a focus on helping the unhoused. After my experience with my disability, I started a nonprofit that has consulted with several shelters and foodbanks to help those with similar health issues as myself. I also personally raised capital to purchase and preserve an affordable multifamily property. My career has been in real estate since I graduated, but I have job hopped. My first job was 5 months, then I moved to be closer to family. My next job was for 7 months, but I quit as they were taking actions to make housing unaffordable for first time buyers. My next job was in acquisitions but I was laid off with about half the company due to the rising interest rates that affected the industry. I have been at an impact real estate private equity firm for almost 2 years in an acquisitions, development, and asset management role with a promotion. All my roles have been for REITs or PE firms. My post-mba goal is banking to better learn capital markets and long term to start an affordable real estate investment firm, perhaps in London. I would love to be a wire tap candidate, fingers crossed.
Applying for deferred programs at the mentioned schools. African woman studying Comp Sci and Math. GMAT Focus 98 %tile. Substantial community involvement and some experience at big tech working as a SWE. Thinking of consulting or product management post MBA.
Took the GMAT twice - with significant percentile increases for DI (77th to 86th) and Quant (50th to 66th) and a small dip in Verbal from (99th to 96th) same overall score of 645. Wondering whether to retake again.
Female, UK citizen.
