Goizueta Business School Admissions Chat
On Tuesday, October 26, 2004, we hosted a chat with Julie
Barefoot, Director of Admissions and Brandi Mathews, a
second-year student with a concentration in marketing.
Below is
the abbreviated transcript of that chat.
How does the recruiting outlook appear at Goizueta?
Recruiting is going very well this year. We have already
interviewed a number of candidates for our 2005 classes. We
recruit worldwide. We have admissions officers
interviewing both on campus and throughout the United States
and abroad in the coming months.
Is it possible to interview on any day in ATL?
Yes...every day except Wednesdays ...we also interview on
about 7 select Saturdays. You don't have to have an app on
file to interview...you just need to bring your resume.
We really like candidates to visit our campus...it's
beautiful..and we want them to meet our students...go to
class w/ them...interact w/ our faculty...etc.
I
am applying for the One Year Program. In the past the
incoming class averages around 50 individuals. Do you see
this number staying at 50 this year?
Yes...I
believe it'll be 50...maybe 55...but yes, around that number.
Do
you by any chance accept the GRE in place of the GMAT?
No. We don't accept the GRE.
How
important is it to attend an interview before sending the
application? I mean if it's not possible to attend one?
We
greatly value an in person interview and it's perfectly fine
for you to do this before you send in your
application....all you have to do is contact our office or
go to our web site...phone 404-727-6311 or
goizueta.emory.edu.
When should someone interview. Before or after the application is
submitted?
I recommend that you interview before you submit your
application.....we do not pre-review your file so there's no
advantage to wait.
Why
should someone come to Goizueta over other top bschools? Respectfully,
I like Goizueta Business School. I am
interested in your point of view.
Julie:
Goizueta is a fabulous place to attend B-School...the
students are bright and engaging individuals and the faculty
has tremendous teaching and research skills....and yet it's
a small, agile environment...plus, Atlanta is a wonderful
place to live....
I really like the "can do" attitude of my colleagues
here...students, fellow staff and faculty alike are always
interested in "continuous improvement"...that's a great
feeling. Why Goizueta? Lots of reasons...but I would say that at the
top of the list is that you can be a leader here and have a
one-on-one relationship w/ faculty....that can't / won't
happen at a lot of places. In fact most of the other top
schools are too large for that to happen.
Brandi:
For me, class size was a deciding factor. You won't get lost
in the shuffle. You have tons of opps to lead, great
networking/relationships with alums, and top tier companies
that recruit here. We are getting recognized for the quality
of education and leadership training received at Goizueta.
Plus, we've got a fabulous set of students to get to know on
a social basis!
