@elad Yes, there are 100% tuition scholarships which are very competitive. Successful candidates will have above average academic records and leadership experience. There is not a separate application you need to complete - all applicants are considered for merit scholarships.
Barak
Will discuss offline, thanks a lot.

@Barak - Admission to the FT MBA without an undergrad diploma is less common, it's on a case-by-case basis. It's still worth applying, but I'm happy to talk more about your specific situation offline.
elad
Are there full scholarships for MBA program? How do you get them?
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Kohen, we will want to know how your time has been used so you can share hobbies, work demands, family activities and all the ways your time has been occupied.
Barak
Thanks. I'm familiar with the admission for the EMBA, but what about the MBA?
Kohen
I don't have any community experience but tons of other extracurricular activities. Is that ok?
Emory_Goizueta
Our internship placement rate has been 100% for several years!
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Ofer! The internship is part of the Two-Year Full-Time program career process. All students work closely with their career coach to apply for internships and their post-MBA full-time job. Here is our employment report with more details. https://goizueta.emory.edu/documents/FTMBAEmploymentReport.pdf
Emory_Goizueta
@Barak, each application will be reviewed individually so we will be able to review all the information you share about your work and academic background. We have admitted several students in the past to our Executive MBA program without undergraduate degrees. https://goizueta.emory.edu/emba.
Emory_Goizueta
@elad We will consider your industry and IDF experience in your application.
Ofer
Hi @Emory_Goizueta may I ask about internships if I understand correctly, they are mandatory - how do I find one? does it have to be in the us, or can i return to Israel for the internship? thank you
Emory_Goizueta
@Oren, Absolutely! Our faculty lead GEM trips which are week-long study abroad programs. Also, we are part of a 60+ school exchange partnership association. https://goizueta.emory.edu/full-time-mba/two-year-mba/academics/global
Barak
Hey there,
I do not hold an undergraduate degree but have a strong GMAT score (690 GMAT Focus) and an excellent career record in tech and military intelligence, including management experience. Would I still be considered for the MBA program? How significant is the lack of an undergraduate degree given that I surpass all other criteria?
elad
I am a recent BSc graduate. I don't have a lot of experience in the industry, but I have a lot of other professional experience from the IDF etc. Will this affect my acceptance chances?
Oren
Are there any international exchange option in MBA?
Emory_Goizueta
Here is more information on our deferred program which we call Early Admission: https://goizueta.emory.edu/mba-early-admission
kirti
Do you have option of deferred MBA if work ex is less than what is required?
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @kirti - your score and transcripts are reviewed together to assess academic readiness
Emory_Goizueta
You will have access to multiple courses on launching and acquiring businesses as well as a VERY active alumni entrepreneurship network.
Emory_Goizueta
We have a whole Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation! https://goizueta.emory.edu/faculty/entrepreneurship-innovation
kirti
If I scored less in GMAT- Quant section. Will any other quantitative skills value in place of that?
ofir
Hi, what entrepreneurship courses and programs do you offer?
Emory_Goizueta
https://goizueta.emory.edu/full-time-mba/two-year-mba/academics
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Michal - Thank you! Our curriculum front-loads the core into the first semester so that you can take all electives in your second semester before your internship and all of your second year. You will be able to take a variety of courses and complete more than one concentration if you choose
Emory_Goizueta
@ofir We don't have scholarships designated by countries but our past Israeli students have received merit awards
Emory_Goizueta
@sharon - Yes, you would include that program in the academics section of the application form and you can tell us your reason for a second MBA in the optional essay.
ofir
Do you offer specific scholarships for Israeli candidates?
Michal
Hi Emory. I am reading more and more about your program -so big thanks for taking the time to talk to us
I couldt find info on how flexible is the curriculum for specialization?
Emory_Goizueta
@inbar - The main rules are not to ask a subordinate or a family member. If you don't have a traditional supervisor, consider asking a client, supplier, peer, or board of advisors member. Does that help?
sharon
I have done a distance MBA degree (which I realize was not very useful). So technically, this will be my second MBA. Do I need to explain this anywhere in the application
Emory_Goizueta
@kirti - Hello! We recommend that Full-Time MBA applicants have 2-3 years of work experience by the time they would be starting the program. We also want to know all of your work experience and you can share context and explanations in the optional essay and interview.
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @fadi saad, applicants who receive a test waiver are still considered for scholarships. The main question is whether you are happy with your GPA and you feel it represents you well, or if you think your GMAT score would be stronger.
kirti
Hi, I have a work-ex of 2 years in different organizations. is this accepted? what is the Minimum work years required to get into MBA program?I have work ex in Bank of America but I left it to come back to my hometown for some reasons and currently working at Charted Accountant firm, while preparing for exams, Do this impact negatively?
inbar
What can I do if I don’t have LOR from direct supervisor? If I started my own company or work for family business?
fadi saad
thank you @Emory_Goizueta ! very relevant information for me. can you give me some tips to increase shcolarship chances. if I apply without a gmat, will that hurt my chances
(I am debating if to apply this year without a gmat or next)
Emory_Goizueta
All applicants are considered for Admission and Scholarships - typically, more than half of the incoming class receives a scholarship between 20% and 100% of tuition.
Emory_Goizueta
@Ofir The Test Waiver application process is spelled out in the Test Requirement section of this page: https://goizueta.emory.edu/full-time-mba/two-year-mba/admissions/application
Emory_Goizueta
@Ofir many incoming students have engineering backgrounds - the MBA is a wonderful compliment to previous engineering study and experince.
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @inbar, a strong test score will help reassure the committee of your readiness for our academic program
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Ofir, among the top-20 MBA programs in the US, we are the only one in a major business city with an intentionally small incoming class to maximize access and collaboration for our students.
inbar
my GPA is not that high, will a high GMAT overcome that?
Emory_Goizueta
The best thing every applicant ca do to prepare is to thoroughly research post-mba careers and which will be your goal or goals.
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Harel, all applicants will be reviewed holistically for academic readiness, professional experience, and fit with Goizueta's team and community values.
Ofir
Hello!
1.What sets you apart as a business school compared to other schools?
2.Do you have any programs or courses for students that have mechanical engineering background?
3. What are the requirements for a BSc. graduate in order to apply to your business school? is there an option for a test waiver?
Emory_Goizueta
Hi @Oren, yes, the optional essay is the perfect place to explain a gap to the committee.
Harel
As an international applicant, which area of my application should I focus more?
Oren
I have an employment gap of 1 year due to some personal reasons. Can I explain that in any optional essay?

Emory_Goizueta
@Tsirison Albert - Yes! Our application dates are here https://goizueta.emory.edu/full-time-mba/two-year-mba/admissions/application, and the Full-Time MBA Application will be live and available on August 1, 2024.
Tsirison Albert
@Emory_Goizueta ok thank you that information is helpful
Tsirison Albert
@Emory_Goizueta and one last question do you know when the application for Fall 2025 will open ? Thank you
Emory_Goizueta
Hello @Tsirison Albert! Students are able to apply for course waiver exams to replace a core course with an elective, but we usually are not able to accept transfer credits. This is because the program is already streamlined as much as possible.
Tsirison Albert
@Emory_Goizueta Dear Kathleen Edwards thank you for attending this event. Do you know if Emory can take a transfer course from another graduate degree please?
