Learn About the Application
In this section, you will find helpful information to complete your online application. More detailed instructions can be found in the application itself.
Application Best Practices
If there is any information that is critical for us to know and is not captured elsewhere, include it in the Additional Information section of the application. Pertinent examples include:
- Extenuating circumstances affecting your candidacy, including academic, work, or test-taking experiences
- Academic experience (e.g., independent research) not noted elsewhere
This section should not be used as an additional essay.
Do not email or mail supplemental application materials to our office, such as video links, photos, etc. We will not review these items or follow any links you provide in your application.
If you need to correspond with the MBA Admissions Office about your application, you must email us from the email address that is associated with your online application.
If any important and relevant information has changed since you submitted your application, you may log in to your application status portal and provide the information in the Upload Materials section. However, we cannot guarantee that information submitted after the deadline will be reviewed.
