Application Calendar

  • We offer 3 application rounds.
  • It is most important that you apply only when you feel your application is as strong as it can be.
  • While we admit outstanding individuals in all three rounds, there are some advantages to applying in either the first or second round:
    • Early notification
    • The opportunity to meet other admitted candidates during Admit Weekend
    • The opportunity to register early for on-campus housing, especially at the Schwab Residential Center, which is in high demand.
    • For international students, to have additional time to navigate the often time-consuming visa process.
    • If needed, the ability to complete preliminary quantitative and/or language coursework prior to arrival on campus.

* If you are considering applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, we encourage you to consider Round 1. Over the past few years, we've noticed more applicants applying in Round 2 and, as a result, this round has become bigger and a bit more competitive. You should never rush your application. But on the margin, earlier is better.

Please note:

  1. Applications must be submitted online.
  2. You may apply only once in any application year.
  3. All application materials must be received (not postmarked or faxed) in our office by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the deadline date.
