The Ohio State Fisher MBA Deadlines 2024-2025
The Ohio State Fisher MBA deadlines for the 2024-2025 admissions season are presented in the table below.
The Ohio State Fisher College of Business is conducting its MBA application review process over the course of five rounds.
| Round | Application Deadline | Admissions Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Early | October 13, 2024 | November 15, 2024 |
| Round 1 | December 1, 2024 | January 17, 2025 |
| Round 2 | January 5, 2025 | March 7, 2025 |
| Round 3 | February 23, 2025 | April 11, 2025 |
| Final Round | April 25, 2025 | May 30, 2025 |
Candidates applying during the Early round are able to participate in Fall Preview Days, which are on-campus or virtual events typically offered in October and November. Students get a campus tour, connect with current students, meet career management and admissions, and have an opportunity to do a live interview. While scholarships are available in every round, the adcom does recommend that those looking to be considered for Ohio State Fellowship eligibility apply by Round 1. Round 3 is the recommended final deadline for international applicants.
What Do I Need to Submit by the Deadline?
A complete MBA application to Fisher comprises:
- Application data form
- Unofficial transcripts for all degree-related coursework (four-year bachelor’s degree or equivalent required)
- GMAT or GRE score, unless the candidate has secured a test waiver
- A one-page resume (and/or LinkedIn url)
- Two reference contacts
- Essay response
- Video interview
- Application fee: $60 domestic, $70 international
Applicants who completed their undergraduate degrees at non-English-speaking institution are asked to have their records translated, and to submit the translation to the admissions office along with an official transcript.
Applicants may choose to either list their references or have Fisher admissions send an OPTIONAL electronic letter of recommendation request to each recommender. The adcom may contact the references during the admissions process. Requesting a recommendation is optional. The video interview does not take the place of the live interview. Once an application is started, applicants will receive an email invitation to complete the video interview. Although the school suggests completing the video interview within 2 weeks, the link will not expire. Via the Kira Talent platform, the video interview should only take 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Live Interview
Live interviews are conducted on an invitation-only basis and are required to matriculate. The adcom conducts interviews in-person (recommended for domestic applicants) or online via Skype.

My goal for an MBA is to build tools for music creators. I joined a band during Covid and found a passion for digital music creation and machine learning, but I lack the business skills.
Top Choices:
HBS: Offers cross-registration with Berklee for classes like audio engineering and entertainment law, plus a chance to collaborate with potential users and experts in the music field.
MIT: Media Lab aligns with some of the audio breakthroughs I’m interested in
