Options and Deadlines

One MBA, Two Paths

Columbia Business School provides students with the option of enrolling in either September or January. Students who enroll in September are presented with an internship option after their first year of studies. Students who do not want or need an internship may consider beginning their MBA studies in January and taking their second term during the summer. A January start may be ideal for students who wish to remain in the same industry after graduation or pursue entrepreneurial interests.

The two paths, each comprised of four semesters, merge in the fall of the second year of studies to complete the program of electives. The paths are identical in terms of competitiveness of admissions, academic rigor and student resources.

Early Decision

The Early Decision option is ideal for candidates who have completed their research about MBA programs and have decided that Columbia is the school they want to attend. Early Decision applications are reviewed before Regular Decision applications.

Early Decision candidates must sign the following Statement of Commitment:

As an Early Decision candidate to Columbia Business School, I understand that if I am admitted I will submit my nonrefundable $6,000 deposit to secure my place in the September entering class. I am committed to attending Columbia Business School and will withdraw all applications and decline all offers from other schools upon admission to Columbia Business School.

Early Decision applicants will find the Statement of Commitment in the Honor System section of the online application.

Early Decision candidates who are offered admission have up to two weeks to submit their nonrefundable $6,000 deposit. Applicants who are not yet ready for this level of commitment are encouraged to apply for Regular Decision.

Deadlines

Columbia Business School uses a rolling admissions process. Applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received, and decisions can be rendered at any point during the review period. It is always to your benefit to apply before the posted deadline.

Application Dates

The following are the deadlines for the MBA Class of 2012 entering in the fall of 2010:

Please note that each "round" represents a distinct period in which you may apply, not a succession of steps for your application. You may apply in one round only, one time in an application year.

Given past experience, we anticipate that many candidates will submit their online application materials very close to 5 p.m. on submission deadline dates. To avoid heavy server traffic and potential delays, we encourage candidates to submit application materials as early as possible.

Applications received after 5 p.m. on October 1, 2009 will be considered in Round 2. Applications received after 5 p.m. on January 19, 2010 will be considered in Round 3. Applications received after 5 p.m. on April 8, 2010 will not be considered.

Regretfully, requests for decisions earlier than the notification dates listed above cannot be accommodated under any circumstances.

When Should I Apply?

To avoid overwhelming server traffic generated by the high volume of applications we receive, candidates are encouraged to submit their application as early as possible prior to the deadline of each round.

We encourage applicants to apply in the first or second round, as space in the class may be limited by the third round. In addition, applying in the earlier rounds will give candidates more time to address the following:

• International candidates needing visas will find that applying in round 3 makes the timing of their visa application stressful.
• International candidates admitted in rounds 1 and 2 find that it's helpful to have the additional time to work on English proficiency.
• Some candidates may be required to complete preliminary course work prior to their enrollment.
• Many deadlines for outside (non-Harvard Business School) fellowships are in early spring. Only students who have been accepted are eligible for these fellowships.
• Financial aid is available regardless of when students are admitted. However, since admitted students may apply for financial aid only after they are admitted round 3 admits have less time to prepare their application.
• Harvard Business School residence halls and Harvard University-affiliated apartments are assigned by lottery. Deadlines for both of these housing options precede Round 3 notification, and you must be admitted to HBS before you can enter these lotteries

Application Components

The application for the MBA Class of 2012 consists of the following:

• Responses to the four application essay questions (see below)
• Current resume
• Three recommendations (must be submitted online)
• Self-reported transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate academic institutions attended (full- or part-time)
• GMAT or GRE scores from a test taken January 1, 2005 or later (and TOEFL IBT or IELTS score, if applicable, from a test taken January 1, 2008 or later)
• Signed HBS Community Values statement
• Signed Statement of Application Integrity
• Nonrefundable U.S. $250 application fee (credit card only)*
• Interview (by invitation only)

Verification

The School will verify application information and reserves the right to withdraw any offer of admission already made if there is any discrepancy between the self-reported information and information provided through verification.

Essays for the Class of 2012

As an opportunity to present your distinctive qualities, your essays are an important part of your MBA application. You will be asked to submit your personal statements online with the balance of your application materials. Essays should be single-spaced. Please limit your response to the length indicated.

All applicants must submit answers to four essay questions. The first two questions are required of all applicants. The remaining two essays should be in response to your choice of the next five sub-questions.

Joint program applicants for the Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Kennedy School must provide an additional essay.

Essays:

• What are your three most substantial accomplishments and why do you view them as such? (600-word limit)
• What have you learned from a mistake? (400-word limit)
• Please respond to two of the following (400-word limit each):
  1. What would you like the MBA Admissions Board to know about your undergraduate academic experience?
  2. Discuss how you have engaged with a community or organization.
  3. Tell us about a time when you made a difficult decision.
  4. Write a cover letter to your application introducing yourself to the Admissions Board.

Recommendations must be completed online. The form includes the following three essay response questions, along with other types of questions.

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Application Deadlines for Class of 2012
 

It is important that you apply only when you feel your application is as strong as it can be.

While we admit outstanding individuals in all three rounds, there are some advantages to applying in either the first or second round:

• Early notification
• The opportunity to meet other admitted candidates during Admit Weekend
• Guaranteed one year of on-campus housing
• The opportunity to register early for the Schwab Residential Center, which is in high demand.
• For international students, to have additional time to navigate the often time-consuming visa process.
• If needed, the ability to complete preliminary quantitative and/or language coursework prior to arrival on campus.
• If you are considering applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, we encourage you to consider Round 1. Over the past few years, we've noticed more applicants applying in Round 2 and, as a result, this round has become bigger and a bit more competitive. You should never rush your application. But on the margin, earlier is better.

Essay Length

Your answers for all of the essay questions cannot exceed 1,800 words. Each of you has your own story to tell, so please allocate the 1,800 words among all of the essays in the way that is most effective for you. We provide some guidelines below as a starting point, but you should feel comfortable to write as much or as little as you like on any essay question, as long as you do not exceed 1,800 words total.

• Essay 1: 750 words
• Essay 2: 450 words
• Essay 3: 300 words each
