Admissions Deadlines

Deadlines are the Admissions Office's suggested application submission dates. Please note that these dates are not absolute deadlines. McCombs employs a rolling admissions process--meaning all applications are generally reviewed in chronological order according to the date they were completed, and are not grouped into periods or "rounds."

It is to each applicant’s benefit to apply earlier rather than later, but we encourage applicants to submit the strongest application of which they are capable. A stronger application received later in the season is preferred over a weaker or incomplete one submitted early. We continue offering admission until we believe the incoming fall class to be full.

Fall 2007 Suggested Submission Dates

• November 1, 2006     Suggested early submission for all applicants.

• February 2, 2007       Final date for all international applicants.

• April 1, 2007             Final date for all domestic applicants.

Completed Application Information

We cannot begin to review an application until all parts have been received, processed, and declared official by the Graduate and International Admissions office (GIAC). The absolute minimum requirements for the admissions office to render a decision include submission of the online application, payment of the application fee, submission of transcripts and an official GMAT score from ETS. However, throughout most of the admission cycle the applicant will also need to submit a resume, three (3) essays, and two (2) letters of recommendation in order to be competitive with other applicants. We will review applications in which all documents are submitted prior to reviewing those applications in which one or more pieces were not included.

In addition, international students will need to submit an official TOEFL score from ETS. If admitted, the certificate of Financial Responsibility form must be submitted to the International office; this can also be submitted at the time of application to simplify the process.
