STRATEGY FOR APPLICANTS
| |
Because enrollment is growing at Goizueta, it's slightly easier to get into the MBA program now than it was a couple of years ago, despite the fact that the school has seen a 15 percent increase in the number of applications it receives. Even so, the school is clear about preferring candidates with significant work experience -- virtually every member of the Class of 2000 had at least a year full-time on the job, with five years the average.
Personal interviews are not required, but are strongly encouraged -- about 95 percent of the Class of 2000 was interviewed. You can speak with admissions officers on campus or at a number of MBA Forums throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Several Saturday interview days are scheduled on campus, one each month from December through March, to accommodate candidates who work full-time. In the spring of 1999, the B-school will hold its first annual welcome weekend for accepted students; admitted applicants will be invited to join students, staff, and faculty for campus tours, social activities, and an introduction to life in Atlanta at Goizueta.

Grading System
The following five-tiered grading system is used: Distinction (DS), High Performance (HP), Performance Standard (PS). Low Performance (LP), No Credit (NC).
MBA students do not receive a numeric or letter grade, quality point average, or class ranking. There is no established basis for translating descriptive grade terms to conventional letter grades or grade point averages, and an attempt to make such a translation from the accompanying transcript would be inappropriate and may be misleading. Descriptive definitions of the grades are outlined below.
Distinction (DS) = An honors grade recognizing work of exceptional quality as evidenced by total mastery of all course concepts and techniques. The student stands clearly above the class and is able to integrate and apply concepts and techniques and consistently demonstrate initiative and creativity in response to assigned work.
High Performance (HP) = Work of very good quality as evidenced by a solid mastery of all course concepts and techniques. The student shows consistent initiative in responding to assigned work and meets or exceeds all of the instructor's performance expectations.
Performance Standard (PS) = Work of good quality as evidenced by a solid mastery of most course concepts and techniques. The student shows initiative in responding to assigned work and meets all of the instructor's performance expectations.
Low Performance (LP) = Work of below standard or marginally acceptable quality. The student's mastery of the subject material is uneven and there may be some difficulty in understanding and appropriately applying concepts and techniques. However, overall performance meets the instructor's minimum performance expectations.
No Credit (NC) = Work of unacceptable quality. The student demonstrates little understanding and great difficulty in applying concepts and techniques. The student fails to meet the instructor's minimum performance expectations.
