The Office of Admissions & Financial Aid will be accepting late applications after the last deadline on a space available basis. However, we do not advise this for international applicants who are planning to enter the US on an F-1 student visa. It is recommended that international applicants apply not later than January 12th in order to obtain a student visa in a timely manner.

We do not encourage applications from those who have completed a graduate degree in management to apply either to the MBA two-year or Accelerated MBA.

Interviews: An invitation to interview will be offered to select candidates after a complete review of the written application. The decision to grant an interview is at the discretion of the admissions committee and may not be arranged by the candidate. Trained students, alumni, staff, and faculty conduct interviews. All interviews are conducted in English regardless of the interviewer's or applicant's native language. A limited number of Saturday dates are available for rounds one, two and three.
