Required Materials
Applicants must submit the online application form; GMAT, GRE or Executive Assessment scores (optional); copies of academic transcripts regarding any coursework at a college or university; essays; a current resume; proof of English language proficiency (if applicable, TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo test); contact information for two recommenders (letters of recommendations are not accepted); and an optional video essay. There is a $90 application fee, which can be waived if applicants check their eligibility by submitting their LinkedIn profile or résumé/CV (and test scores, if available) for feedback before officially applying. This is available through the Simon admissions website.
When Does Rochester Simon Issue Invitations to Interview?
Interviews are offered by invitation only after an applicant has submitted all of the application components. The timing of an interview invitation has no bearing on admission. The adcom encourages applicants to treat the admissions interview like a job interview, and to come prepared with questions to learn more about Simon.
MBA Applywire
I want to pivot into traditional Project/program or Product Management role.
I graduated with dual degrees in accounting and business analytics with minors in economics and writing from a local school. I currently work for a Big 4 firm in financial audit, and I'll have three years of full-time work experience when I apply in 2025. I work on multiple clients throughout the year so I've sat through multiple busy seasons. I'm a high performer at my firm and will have strong recommendations, but I don't plan on getting my CPA license. Post MBA, I would like to work in consulting for a few years and then transition full time to nonprofit and social impact work.
Outside of work, I serve as a program manager or lead in initiatives that provide pro bono services to local nonprofits, work with diverse students from low income areas to encourage them to pursue college and careers in business, and volunteer at an animal shelter. I'm very involved with new hires and students, and frequently facilitate trainings, serve as a coach and advisor, and participate in recruiting events for the school I graduated from. I was also heavily involved during undergrad.
Have been working in public sector consulting for four years, with two additional years of experience in public policy.
Looking to transition to commercial management consulting with the big 3.
