UPenn / Wharton MBA Deadlines 2024-2025

The University of Pennsylvania has released the 2024-2025 Wharton MBA deadlines for applicants targeting the Class of 2027.

Wharton MBA applicants should note that all materials (including recommendations) must be submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the date of each deadline to be considered for a given round.

As usual, the Wharton School is conducting its admissions process over three rounds this admissions season.

The admissions committee encourages first-time applicants, reapplicants, and international students to submit their applications in Round 1 or Round 2. Submatriculation applicants (i.e. current college students) are advised to apply in Round 3 so that more of their academic record is available for review by the admissions committee.

What are the Application Requirements?

A complete Wharton application comprises background information provided via the school’s online application data forms, an application fee of $275, responses to two essay questions, transcripts from undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) coursework, two letters of recommendation covering the applicants’ performance in a work setting, GMAT or GRE scores, and a one-page resume.

Non-native English speakers must also submit TOEFL, IELTS or PTE scores, unless they hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree from an institution where English is the language of instruction.

When Does Wharton Issue Interview Invitations?

The Wharton admissions committee conducts interviews by invitation only. The date when candidates will be notified about this application process milestone is reflected in the Interview Invitation column above. Interview invitations will be extended via email; candidates will also receive a link for scheduling the interview, and resources for preparing.

Candidates who are not invited to interview on this date will receive a rejection notification.
