Georgetown / McDonough MBA Application Deadlines 2024-2025

The Georgetown MBA deadlines at the McDonough School of Business for the 2024-2025 admissions season are as follows.

Applicants targeting the McDonough MBA program should note that all application materials must be submitted by 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

The Early Action round is for applicants whose first choice is Georgetown McDonough. Accepted applicants during the Early Action round enter a binding agreement to attend Georgetown and to withdraw competing applications, as well as not submit any new applications. The Dean’s Fellowship is only offered to Early Action candidates. International applicants are encouraged to apply no later than Round 2.

Completed applications must include unofficial transcripts from all academic coursework (official transcripts should only be submitted if admitted), a resume, GMAT, GRE, or EA scores (test waiver available), one letter of recommendation preferably from a current supervisor, and the non-refundable $175 application fee. Recommenders are required to submit the recommendation form online and may submit a letter or performance review as part of the online form. Applicants must complete one of three essay question options and a video essay.

All non-US applicants must take the TOEFL, PTS or the IELTS to demonstrate proficiency unless they have obtained a bachelor’s or advanced degree from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States or from an institution where English is the primary language of instruction.

Application fee waivers are available to active duty, reservists, or veterans of the United States military, Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) Fellows, Forté MBA Launch participants, Members of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), current and returned Peace Corps Volunteers, and AmeriCorps and Teach for America participants or alumni. Applicants should not pay the fee if they meet eligibility for a waiver as reimbursements are not available. Members of Forté, U.S. citizens and permanent residents who earn less than $30,000 per year, non-U.S. citizens who earn less than $15,000 per year in U.S. dollars automatically qualify for a reduced application fee of $100.

Decisions are released through the online application portal by the published notification date.
