Northwestern / Kellogg MBA Deadlines 2024-2025

The Kellogg School of Management has released the 2024-2025 deadlines for its two-year full-time MBA program.

Kellogg is conducting its application review process over three rounds of deadlines this year. Whereas many MBA programs conduct interviews by invitation only, Northwestern asks all prospective students to schedule an interview with a member of the admissions committee. Applicants provide their time zones in the application and can expect to receive interview scheduling instructions within six weeks of the application deadline.

Applicants should note that all materials must be submitted by 5:00 PM Central Time on the date of each deadline.

Required Materials

A complete application must include transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, a resume, GMAT or GRE scores, responses to essay questions, letters of recommendation, and video essays. The video essay is accessible once the application and fee have been submitted. The $250 application fee must be submitted with the application via credit card. Fee waivers are granted to applicants who are active duty US military or US military veterans who have been on active duty within three years of applying, and candidates employed by Teach For America, AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps within the last three years. Forte MBA Launch, JumpStart Network, Posse Scholar, Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) and Riordan Program members, fellows and alumni may also request consideration for a fee waiver.

How are Interviews Scheduled?

Admissions interviews will be conducted online for the 2024-2025 admissions season.

All applicants must indicate their time zone in their application. Then, the adcom will reach out via email with scheduling instructions within six weeks of the application deadline.

Interview slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Interviews typically last 30-45 minutes and are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and select Saturdays.

Waivers may be issued due to high demand and limited availability of interviewers. All interview requests are final and may not be changed after submission. Applicants who are unable to attend their interview must contact the office of admissions to cancel the request.
