Applying Graduate School At 18/19

Georgetown for MBA is considered a safety school for me. 60% is rather high.

Georgetown is not a safety for you, admission is holistic. Average age: 28. Average years of (relevant) work experience: 5.59 years.

Here’s more data: https://msb.georgetown.edu/mba/mba-class-profiles-evening/#

How many 19 year olds do you see working at say Mckinsey, KPMG, etc? Hence why I came back to the forum, I was looking for advice from those who have applied to business school right out of college in hopes of reaching out to someone that has a similar experience to me. I am simply here to get more information as I haven’t been able to find much online about people in my situation and I can’t just drive over the bridge to Georgetown due to the current situation.

Exactly! There are very few 19 year olds working in jobs/careers that are pertinent when applying to the top MBA schools. This fact helps make the case to not apply right now, unless you are going to apply to a program that is not highly ranked…I am sure there are some that would love to have your money. Would going to a ‘lesser’ MBA program allow you to achieve your goals?

You have yet to respond to the posters who have told you that lack of work experience will be a difficult sell to top school AOs. What is your plan to try and accomplish that?
