Selecting an Application Round
You may apply once per application year in any one of the three application rounds.
Do not rush your application, but there are some advantages to applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, including:
If you and your partner are both applying in the same year, we strongly encourage you to apply in the same round so that you will know if your partner has been admitted by the time you have to accept or decline your offer of admission.
If you are interested in deferred enrollment, you may apply in any round.
Decision Notification
We will post your decision to your account on the notification date above for the round in which you applied. We will also send an email to the address used to create your application profile to notify you when your decision is available.
We do not accommodate requests for an early decision or for decision information to be provided via phone or in person.
Deferral Policy
If you are offered admission, you will be expected to enroll in the MBA or dual/joint-degree program in the year for which you are admitted unless you meet the criteria for deferred enrollment. If you do not meet these criteria, we do not allow you to defer admission to a later year. Instead, we ask you to reapply. Only under rare and extraordinary circumstances (e.g., compulsory military service) will we consider exceptions to this policy.
