MBA Application Deadlines 2024-2025
Each year, business school admissions teams release a new set of MBA application deadlines for the upcoming season. For most schools, this means the date and time by which an application must be submitted, and the day when schools will notify applicants of a final admissions decision. Some programs also share the date by which interview invitations will be issued and the deposit due date for admitted students who want to secure a spot in the incoming MBA class.
It is also important to note the time that applications are due on each application deadline date – as well as the time zone in which each school is located.
Occasionally, application deadlines shift over the course of the admissions season. While most programs keep to their originally published schedules, it doesn’t hurt to check back on your target school’s website for any changes in their admissions deadlines.
