ChaseDream汇总

本帖汇总2012年秋季入学美国TOP MBA申请Deadline、申请要求及Essay题目。以方便ChaseDream会员查看。目前并非所有学校均有了这些信息,故本帖会持续更新。

由于汇总工作量比较大,如果发现问题,可以随时给我发站内短信或跟帖说明,我会尽快调整。
由于各校申请截止时间偶尔会进行调整,所以,如出现和学校官网公布的时间有出入,请以学校官网为准。

目前只列了北美排名前35的学校。仍在陆续更新。排名出处:U.S. News 2012的美国商学院排名

目前很多学校还没开放申请,所以现在的统计的信息还很不全面,大家如果有兴趣,想提前了解一些学校的信息,可以看2011年秋季入学的汇总:

Deadlines

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

  • You may apply in any of the 3 application rounds each year.
  • If you are considering applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, we strongly 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.
  • While we admit outstanding individuals in all three rounds, there are some advantages to applying in either the first or second round.
    • The ability to receive an aid award from the Financial Aid Office prior to the date by which you must respond to your offer of admission.
    • Ample time to complete preliminary quantitative and/or language coursework prior to arrival on campus.
    • Access to the on-campus housing lottery and/or Schwab Residential Center housing.
    • Sufficient time to complete the visa application process (international students).
    • Enables attendance at Admit Weekend. (There is no Admit Weekend for third round admits.)

Essay Questions for Class of 2014
(entering Fall 2012)

Tell us in your own words who you really are. Answer essay questions 1, 2, and two of the four options for essay 3.

  • Essay 1: What matters most to you, and why?
    • The best examples of Essay 1 reflect the process of self-examination that you have undertaken to write them.
    • They give us a vivid and genuine image of who you are—and they also convey how you became the person you are.
    • They do not focus merely on what you've done or accomplished. Instead, they share with us the values, experiences, and lessons that have shaped your perspectives.
    • They are written from the heart and address not only a person, situation, or event, but also how that person, situation, or event has influenced your life.
  • Essay 2: What do you want to do—REALLY—and why Stanford?
    • Use this essay to explain your view of your future, not to repeat accomplishments from your past.
    • You should address three distinct topics:
      • your career aspirations
      • the role of an MBA education in achieving those aspirations
      • and your rationale for earning that MBA at Stanford, in particular.
    • The best examples of Essay 2 express your passions or focused interests; explain why you have decided to pursue graduate education in management; and demonstrate your desire to take advantage of the opportunities that are distinctive to the Stanford MBA Program.
  • Essay 3: Answer two of the four questions below. Tell us not only what you did but also how you did it. What was the outcome? How did people respond? Only describe experiences that have occurred during the last three years.
    • Option A: Tell us about a time when you built or developed a team whose performance exceeded expectations.
    • Option B: Tell us about a time when you made a lasting impact on your organization.
    • Option C: Tell us about a time when you generated support from others for an idea or initiative.
    • Option D: Tell us about a time when you went beyond what was defined or established

Essay Length

Your answers for all of the essay questions cannot exceed 1,800 words.

You have 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

Formatting

  • Use a 12-point font, double spaced
  • Recommended fonts are Arial, Courier, and Times New Roman
  • Indicate which essay question you are answering at the beginning of each essay (this does not count towards the 1800 word limit).
  • Number all pages
  • Upload all four essays as one document
  • Preview the uploaded document to ensure that the formatting is true to the original
  • Save a copy of your essays

Editing Your Essays

Begin work on these essays early, to give yourself time to reflect, write, and edit.

Feel free to ask your friends or family members to provide constructive feedback. When you ask for feedback, ask if the essays' tone sounds like your voice. It should. Your family and friends know you better than anyone else. If they do not believe that the essays capture who you are, how you live, what you believe, and what you aspire to do, then surely the Committee on Admissions will be unable to recognize what is most distinctive about you.

There is a big difference, however, between 'feedback' and 'coaching.' There are few hard and fast rules, but you cross a line when any part of the application (excluding the Letters of Reference) ceases to be exclusively yours in either thought or word.

Appropriate feedback occurs when you show someone your completed application, perhaps one or two times, and are apprised of errors or omissions.

In contrast, inappropriate coaching occurs when your application or your self-presentation is colored by someone else.

You best serve your own interests when your personal thoughts, individual voice, and unique style remain intact at the end of your editing process.

It is improper and a violation of the spirit of the Fundamental Standard and Honor Code and the terms of this application process, to have someone else write any part of your Stanford MBA Program application. Such an act will result in denial of your application or withdrawal of your offer of admission.

Additional Information

If there is any other information that is critical for us to know and is not captured elsewhere, please include it. Examples of pertinent additional information include:

  • Extenuating circumstances affecting academic or work performance
  • Explanation of why you do not have a Letter of Reference from your current direct supervisor or peer
  • Explanation of criminal conviction, criminal charges sustained against you in a juvenile proceeding, and/or court-supervised probation
  • Explanation of academic suspension or expulsion
  • Any other information that you did not have sufficient space to complete in another section of the application (please begin the information in the appropriate section)
  • Additional work experience that cannot fit into the space provided
  • Additional information about your academic experience (e.g., independent research) not noted elsewhere

Letters of Reference

Qualitative accounts of your intellectual and professional abilities are essential to us. As we read your letters of reference, we hope to discover specific descriptions and examples illustrating your potential to make a difference in the world.

Choose individuals who know you well, and who will take the time to write thorough, detailed letters with specific anecdotes and examples, particularly of your leadership potential and personal qualities. We are impressed by what the letter says and how it reads, not by the title of the person who writes it.

All letters of reference should be submitted by the deadline of the round in which you apply.

3 Letters of Reference Are Required

  • 2 Professional/Workplace References
    • You must obtain at least one recommendation from your current direct supervisor.
    • If you are unable to provide a letter from your current direct supervisor, include a brief note of explanation in the Additional Information section of the online application. It is up to you to choose an appropriate replacement.
    • College seniors may use a direct supervisor from a summer, part-time, or internship experience. Alternatively, you may ask someone who oversaw you in an extracurricular, volunteer, or community activity.
    • Your second Professional/Workplace Letter of Reference must come from someone else in a position to evaluate your work—another supervisor, a previous supervisor, a client, etc.
  • 1 Peer Reference
    • An individual with whom you have worked on a team or on a project, in a position equal to your own, should complete this recommendation. You may choose this person from any of your team experiences: charitable, extracurricular, professional, or other.
    • The peer recommender cannot be your supervisor or subordinate.
  • Drafting or writing your own Letter of Reference, even if asked to do so by your recommender, is improper and a violation of the spirit of the Stanford Fundamental Standard and Honor Code and the terms of the application process. This action can result in denial of your application or withdrawal of your offer of admission. If the individual insists on this approach, you should find another recommender.
  • Choose individuals who have had significant direct involvement with you within the last few years.
  • Encourage recommenders to write letters specifically for this application since outdated and/or general recommendations typically do not strengthen an application.
  • Strictly academic Letters of Reference generally are less helpful in our evaluation.
  • Your recommenders must submit their Letters of Reference via the online application.
  • We strongly suggest that your recommenders submit Letters of Reference at least one day prior to the application deadline.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that all three recommendations are submitted online before the application deadline.
  • Letters of Reference should not exceed 4 pages, double-spaced, using a 12-point font. Recommended fonts are Arial, Courier, and Times New Roman.

Questions We Ask Your Recommenders

For Your 2 Professional/Workplace recommenders

  1. Please comment on the context of your interaction with the applicant. If applicable, briefly describe the applicant's role in your organization.
  2. How does the candidate's performance compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles?
  3. Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.
  4. Please make additional statements about the applicant's performance, potential, or personal qualities you believe would be helpful to the MBA Admissions Office.

For Your Peer recommender

  1. Please comment on the context of your interaction with the applicant. If applicable, briefly describe the applicant's role in your organization.
  2. Describe how the candidate has generated support from others for an idea or initiative.
  3. Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.
  4. Please make additional statements about the applicant's performance, potential, or personal qualities you believe would be helpful to the MBA Admissions Office.

All 3 of your recommenders will also be asked to assess you on some competencies and character traits that contribute to successful leadership. ? Leadership Behavior Grid (updated for Class of 2014)

Online Submission of Letters of Reference

  • Recommenders are required to submit Letters of Reference online.
  • We strongly recommend that Letters of Reference be submitted at least one day prior to the application deadline to ensure that your application is complete.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that all three recommendations are submitted online prior to the application deadline.
Step 1: Register Your Recommender
  • Go to the "Recommendations" tab on the Online Application Form.
  • Enter the recommender's personal information carefully on the registration page. It is extremely important to enter the email address correctly so that your recommender receives the instructions in a timely manner.
  • Read and mark one of the waiver statements on each Letter of Reference.
Step 2: Recommender Receives Email and Logs In
  • Your recommender receives an automated email with instructions to log in to the Online Recommendation.
  • You can track the status of recommendations and see whether they have been started, not started, or submitted.
Step 3: Recommender Completes and Submits Recommendation
  • After logging in, your recommender has access to an online replica of the Letter of Reference Form and the ability to submit the recommendation directly to us.
  • If your recommender is experiencing technical difficulties, please ask the recommender to contact ApplyYourself Technical Support directly by clicking on the button labeled "Tech Support."
Step 4: You and Your Recommender Receive Confirmation
  • After your recommender submits the recommendation, both you and your recommender will receive an email confirmation.
Step 5: Submit Your Online Application
  • Please make sure that all of your recommenders have submitted the online Letters of Reference before the appropriate application deadline. You should expect that late Letters of Reference will not be included with your application file.
Step 6: Stanford Receives Your Application Form and Letter(s) of Reference
  • Please do not send a hard copy of an online Letter of Reference.
  • You may also track the status of your recommendations via the "Recommendations" tab on the online application form.

Application Fee

  • The non-refundable MBA Program application fee is $265.
  • You may pay via credit card as part of the online application.
  • If you pay by check or money order, please make your payment in U.S. currency and payable through a U.S. bank. Submit the payment so that we receive it before 5:00 PM Pacific Time on the appropriate deadline.
    • If someone else writes the check or money order for you, please ensure that your name appears on the front.
    • Please make the check or money order payable to the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
  • Fee waivers are granted only to university/college seniors who are U.S. citizens and receive need-based financial aid.
  • We do not grant other fee waivers.
  • If you are requesting a waiver, please upload a copy of your school's financial aid award letter in the Additional Information section of your online application.
  • If you do not pay the application fee, we will not evaluate your application or release your decision.

Harvard University

HBS

http://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/


Deadlines

The application deadlines for the MBA Class of 2014 are:

Application
Periods:
Application submitted online by
12 noon Boston time:
Notification of the MBA
Admissions Board's decision:
Round 1 Monday, October 3, 2011 Monday, December 19, 2011
Round 2 Tuesday, January 10, 2012 Thursday, March 29, 2012
Round 3 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 Thursday, May 17, 2012

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 12 noon 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 12 noon on October 3, 2011 will be considered in Round 2. Applications received after 12 noon on January 10, 2012 will be considered in Round 3. Applications received after 12 noon on April 10, 2012 will not be considered.

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.

Written Application

To apply to Harvard Business School, we ask you to assemble and prepare a variety of materials that will help us assess your qualifications. Remember, all materials must be submitted to HBS online. The following serves as a preview of what you need to prepare.

Application Components

The application for admission 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, 2007 or later (and TOEFL IBT, IELTS, or PTE score, if applicable, from a test taken January 1, 2010 or later)
  • Signed HBS Community Values statement
  • Signed Statement of Application Integrity
  • Nonrefundable application fee (credit card only) of $250 (USD)*
  • Interview (by invitation only)

*Applicants to our 2+2 Program need only two recommendations and pay a reduced application fee of $100.

Verification

HBS 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 2014

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 essays online with the rest 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 listed below. College seniors applying to the 2+2 Program have different questions to answer. Those questions can be found here.

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 (MBA applicants only):

All application questions below are required.

  • Tell us about three of your accomplishments. (600 words)
  • Tell us three setbacks you have faced. (600 words)
  • Why do you want an MBA? (400 words)
  • Answer a question you wish we'd asked. (400 words)

Joint degree applicants:

  • How do you expect the joint degree experience to benefit you on both a professional and a personal level? (400 words)

Recommender Questions (for both MBA and 2+2 applicants)

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

  • Please comment on the context of your interaction with the applicant. If applicable, briefly describe the applicant's role in your organization. (250 words)
  • How does the candidate's performance compare to other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? (250 words)
  • Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response. (250 words)
  • Please make additional statements about the applicant's performance, potential, or personal qualities you believe would be helpful to the MBA Admissions Board. (250 words)

International Applications

HBS welcomes students from around the globe. The admissions criteria applied in evaluating international applicants are the same as those for U.S. citizens. All application materials, including transcripts and recommendations, must be submitted online and in English.

Academic Requirements

An international applicant is required to hold a college or university degree equivalent to a four-year American baccalaureate degree. All post-secondary educational institutions you have attended and received a degree from, including technical and professional schools, should be listed on the application form. The complete, formal names of the institutions and the title of any diploma or degree earned must be used.

Transcripts

When self-reporting transcripts for the application, all course names must be translated into English before submission. If admitted to Harvard Business School, you will be required to provide an official paper transcript sent directly from each college or university attended to World Education Services (WES), a third-party verification agency. If available, your school should send a transcript in English along with the original language document. The School reserves the right to withdraw any offer of admission if there is a discrepancy between the self-reported transcript and the official transcript.

TOEFL, IELTS, or Pearson Test of English (PTE)

The HBS MBA Program is built upon an immersive learning experience that encourages public speaking, group discussions, and active class participation. To succeed, students must possess a highly developed proficiency in written and oral English.

  • Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from an English-speaking university are not required to take an English language test (i.e., they are exempt).
  • Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from a non-English-speaking university are required to take either the Internet-based version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL IBT, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Pearson Test of English (PTE).
  • Candidates who received a master's or Ph.D. degree from an English-speaking university are strongly encouraged to submit TOEFL IBT, IELTS, or PTE scores. A TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE test score may be a condition of admission.
  • Scores from tests taken before January 1, 2010 will not be accepted.
  • The MBA Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 109 on the IBT, an IELTS score lower than 7.5, or a PTE score lower than 75 from applying.

Those candidates required to take an English language test must have received at least their unofficial scores prior to submitting their application. Both overall and component test scores must be reported on the application form.

All applicants must request that ETS (for the TOEFL), IELTS, or Pearson (for the PTE) send official copies of their scores to HBS.

To obtain information about these tests, visit: www.toefl.org or www.ielts.org or www.pearsonpte.com

Academic Preparation

Some international students may be asked to attend, or want to consider, the on-campus summer PreMBA International Program to make a smooth and effective transition to MBA studies at Harvard Business School. PreMBA International is an intensive learning acculturation curriculum offering integrated modules that help international students enhance their presentation skills, develop critical competencies and strengthen their effectiveness in fast-paced, rigorous HBS case discussions with peers from around the world.

When to Apply

The Admissions Board strongly encourages international applicants to apply by the second round deadline to allow admitted candidates ample time to address visa issues


Reapplication

Application and Fees

Harvard Business School will consider only one application per year from potential applicants. All reapplicants, except those who were previously admitted to the MBA Program Class of 2013, are required to complete the current application in its entirety. This involves creating a new application. While previous applications may be retained on file and consulted at the MBA Admissions Board's discretion, a reapplication must stand on its own merits as a complete and independent application.

Reapplicants should be aware that GMAT or GRE scores from tests taken before January 1, 2007 will not be accepted, and TOEFL IBT or IELTS scores from tests taken before January 1, 2010 will not be accepted. All reapplicants must pay the nonrefundable application fee. Reapplicants do not have an advantage or disadvantage in comparison to other applicants.

Previously Admitted Candidates

If you were admitted to the class entering in Fall 2011 but were unable to attend, please contact Dana Scalisi (dscalisi@hbs.edu) in MBA Admissions for special reapplication instructions.


Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission, an applicant must have successfully completed the following:

Northwestern University (Kellogg)

无标题文档

Kellogg

http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/Programs/FullTimeMBA/Applying.aspx

Deadlines

Why does Kellogg have a two-part application??

Kellogg requires all applicants to request an interview. Submission of Part I of the application allows candidates to request an interview and designate their interview preference (on campus vs. off campus) prior to completing the entire application. Submitting an off-campus interview request does not guarantee an interview, however. The interview may be waived in areas of high demand or remote location. If an interview preference is not selected or if an on-campus interview is not scheduled by the designated deadline, the interview will be waived.?

What is required in Part I and Part II of the application??

Part I?

  • Data form: biographical information, educational experience, academic honors, extracurricular activities, work history, self reported GMAT and TOEFL scores and Résumé.?
  • Interview request:?
    • To request an off-campus interview: Select the appropriate off-campus interview request box in Part I and submit by the deadline designated below. The admissions committee will notify candidates of an interview assignment?via e-mail or an interview may be waived in areas of high demand or remote location. A waived interview does not negatively affect your application. Off-campus interview assignments may take up to eight weeks depending upon demand and location. Upon receipt of the assignment, it is the candidate’s responsibility to contact the alumnus.
    • To request an on-campus interview: Select the on-campus interview request box in Part I and submit by the deadline designated below. Allow two business days before calling the admissions office at 847-491-3308 to schedule an oncampus interview. Appointments may fill up four to six weeks in advance.?
  • $250 non-refundable application fee payable only by credit card.

Part II?

  • Register two recommenders to complete and submit the online letter of recommendation?
  • 1Y eligibility grid (if a 1Y applicant)?
  • Scanned transcripts?
  • Scanned GMAT/TOEFL scores, if available?
  • Updated self-reported test scores, if applicable?
  • Essays and additional information?
  • Kellogg Honor Code??

One-Year and International Applicants?

We strongly recommend One-Year and international applicants apply by the Round 2 application deadline. Applicants applying in Round 3 will be at a disadvantage since the Kellogg School typically admits One-Year and international applicants during Rounds 1 and 2 to allow adequate time for relocation and visa processing. One-Year and international applicants who apply in Round 3 and request an off-campus interview may be selected to interview by invitation only

Deadlines are tentative and subject to change.?

Required essay for re-applicants only – Since your previous application, what steps have you taken to strengthen your candidacy? (400 word limit)

Letters of Recommendation

Two letters of recommendation are required for admission.?

Ideally, one of these recommendations should be written by a current supervisor or manager. The second recommendation should be from someone who can evaluate the applicant’s professional performance as well as their managerial and leadership potential (e.g. a former supervisor, previous employer, client, etc.). If applicants are unable to ask a current supervisor or manager for a letter of recommendation, they should include a brief statement regarding their choice in the Additional Information section of Part II of the application.?

The application is not considered complete until Kellogg has received both recommendations. Submitting the recommendations through the school’s online application is required.?

Additional letters of support are neither required nor encouraged.?
To ensure that the recommenders can be contacted, please apprise the Office of Admissions of any changes to their contact information.?


Application Fee ($250)

Candidates using the online application must remit payment by credit card with the application and should not send the fee directly to Kellogg. The Kellogg School will grant an application fee waiver for candidates on active duty military status or U.S. military veterans who have been on active duty within three years of applying. Fee waivers will also be granted to candidates who are currently employed by Teach For America or the Peace Corps, or who have successfully completed their commitment within the past three years. Candidates who qualify for an application fee waiver must submit a formal request, before submitting Part I, via e-mail tombaadmissions@kellogg.northwestern.edu?and provide supporting evidence of their current employment or military status. Military applicants should submit a copy of a valid military ID card or Form DD-214 to verify active duty status within three years of applying. The Kellogg School cannot issue a refund after Part I and the application fee have been submitted.?

Academic Transcripts

Kellogg requires applicants to list all colleges, universities and study abroad programs attended or currently attending. For each program, we require a scanned copy of the official transcript or an uploaded electronic version provided by the institution. Transcripts for study abroad programs or transfer programs are not required if the grades are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution. Self-reported transcripts will not be accepted. Hard-copy official transcripts will be required upon matriculation only. Applicants to the JD-MBA Program who are accepted and opt to matriculate must submit two official transcripts — one to the Law School and one to Kellogg.?

Applicants who scan images of transcripts should ensure that all sides and pages of the transcript are included in the scanned document. Be sure the scanned version is legible. Submission of an illegible document will result in an incomplete application and possible delay in rendering an application decision.?

If academic records and diplomas are not issued in English by the institution, you must submit both the original record and an authorized verbatim English translation. All records must show the name of the institution, the dates of enrollment, courses taken, units of credit, marks or ratings in each subject, rank in the total class or group (if available).?

GMAT

All applicants are required to submit a valid GMAT score. Scores are valid for five years from the testing date to the application deadline to which you are applying. Information about the GMAT is available at mba.com. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not accepted.?

The GMAT code for Kellogg’s Full-Time MBA is 6WZ-3J-89.?

Applicants should self-report GMAT scores in Part I of the application. The Kellogg School will record the highest score but encourages applicants to report additional scores if the test is taken more than once. If a test date is scheduled after the applicant wishes to submit Part I, the scheduled test date should be recorded in the GMAT Test section of the application. Updated test scores can be self-reported in Part II of the application. Submission of additional test scores after submission of Part II will be accepted, but there is no guarantee the new score will be evaluated at the time the file is reviewed by the admissions committee. Official score reports can be e-mailed to?mbaapplicant@kellogg.northwestern.edu.?

Please note, an application with no self-reported GMAT score will be considered incomplete until a score is received and will likely result in a delayed notification decision after the designated application deadline.?

Candidates must request that scores be sent to Kellogg. Allow three weeks for Kellogg to receive the scores. We recommend that candidates upload the official GMAT score report, if available.?

TOEFL

Proficiency in reading, writing and speaking English is required of all Kellogg students. Classes and group work demand strong English language skills. A valid TOEFL score is required for all candidates who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents. International students may qualify for an exemption if one of the following criteria are met:?

1. The applicant completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university in the United States.?
2. The applicant completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university where English was the ONLY language of instruction.?

Applicants who qualify for an exemption must provide the URL or exact page of additional documentation to verify English was the only language of instruction.??

The TOEFL code for the Kellogg Full-Time MBA Program is 1546.

Evaluative Interviews

Chicago-area applicants must request an off-campus interview unless applying to the JD-MBA program. The interview requirement will be waived for Chicago-area applicants who request an on-campus interview. On-campus interviews are reserved for applicants with less direct access to Kellogg.?

The Admissions Committee requires every applicant to request an evaluative interview. The Admissions Committee evaluates on-campus and off-campus interviews equally. The interview provides an opportunity for the applicant to learn about Kellogg. It is also an opportunity for the Admissions Committee to further evaluate an applicant’s level of maturity, interpersonal skills, career focus and motivation. However, the interview is only one criterion used in the admission decision. The interview is conducted based on the resume only. The interviewer will not have reviewed the application prior to the interview. Each applicant must bring a current resume to his or her interview. Off-campus interview candidates must e-mail a résumé ahead of time to the interviewer. All interviews will be conducted in English.?

On-campus Interview Request?

Applicants requesting an on-campus interview should wait two business days after submitting Part I to schedule their on-campus interview. Interviews may be scheduled by calling the Office of Admissions. On-campus interviews are conducted by a member of the full-time and part-time admissions staff or 1st- or 2nd-year student admissions interviewers. Interviews are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from September through April and on select Saturdays from late fall until early spring. On-campus interviews typically last 30-45 minutes.?

Off-campus Interview Request?

Applicants requesting an off-campus interview will be notified of their assignment or waiver via e-mail within eight weeks of submitting Part I. Off-campus interviews are conducted by the admissions staff or members of the Kellogg School’s Alumni Admissions Organization (AAO). Candidates will be notified of an off-campus interview assignment in one of two ways. An e-mail may be sent requesting the candidate to register for a Kellogg Interview Day (KID). The vast majority of candidates, however, will receive an e-mail notification with the interviewer’s contact information. Because applicants may not receive e-mails due to spam filters, we encourage applicants to periodically view the Check Application Status page on the Kellogg Full-Time website. The interviewer’s contact information will be posted on this page when an assignment is made. The candidate is responsible for contacting the interviewer to arrange for a mutually convenient time and location. While our deadline table does not specify a date by which the off-campus interview must be conducted, we strongly recommend the interview be completed within 21 days of receipt of the assignment. We encourage applicants to contact the interviewer immediately upon notification. We recognize delays in conducting the interview may result due to scheduling conflicts. If an interview will take place more than 21 days after the assignment is made or if the interview is scheduled to take place within three weeks of the decision release deadline, please notify the Office of Admissions ataaoadmissions@kellogg.northwestern.edu?so we are aware the interview has been scheduled. One-Year and international applicants who apply in Round 3 and request an off-campus interview may be selected to interview by invitation only.?

Interview Waiver?

The Office of Admissions will make every effort to assign an off-campus interview to each candidate who requests one. However, in areas of heavy demand or remote location, candidates may be offered an interview by invitation only or receive an interview waiver. Waivers have no negative impact on one’s candidacy. Each year, many applicants who receive waivers are admitted to Kellogg. If an interview is waived, candidates should not attempt to schedule an on-campus interview. All applicants may make one interview request only.

Phone Interview?

If an off-campus interview request is waived, the admissions office may contact the candidate to schedule a telephone interview. The interview may be used to gather additional information or material that will help the admissions committee make a final decision. Applicants who receive a waiver may not request a telephone interview.?

All Interview Requests Are Final?

Due to the high volume of interview requests, all interview requests (on- or off-campus) will be final. You may not change your request after submission. If you are unable or no longer wish to interview, please contact the Office of Admissions to cancel your request. We understand that cancellations may take place due to unforeseen circumstances. A waiver will be granted and will not have a negative impact on one’s candidacy. Once you submit an interview request, you must be prepared to complete an interview as soon as it is assigned.?

Application Essays

Although there is no formal restriction on the length of your response, most applicants use, on average, 500 words for each essay and you should work hard to try to keep your answers around that length. There are no right or wrong answers, so tell us what you really think rather than what you think the admissions committee wants to hear.

  1. Why is an MBA a critical next step toward your short- and long-term career goals? Why is Tuck the best MBA program for you? (If you are applying for a joint or dual degree, please explain how the additional degree will contribute to those goals.)

International Application

International applicants are those who, at the time they submit an application, either:

  1. Are not US citizens or permanent residents
    or
  2. Received their undergraduate degrees outside the US

International applicants should follow the same procedures detailed thus far, as well as those listed below.

Minimum Academic Requirements for International Applicants

The minimum graduate admission requirement includes a bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution. Graduates of recognized academic institutions outside the United States should have completed degree programs representing a minimum of 16 years of schooling with at least 12 years at the primary and secondary levels.

Required Academic Records

Applicants are required to submit official records from each academic institution attended after secondary/high school. All official academic records must be issued in the original language and accompanied by English translations prepared by the issuing institution.

English Language Proficiency

Applicants who received their degrees in countries other than the US, UK, Australia, or English-speaking Canada are required to take the TOEFL exam or the IELTS. This includes applicants with degrees from Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and most European countries. Only applicants who have completed a full year of US university-level coursework with a grade of B or better are exempt from this requirement. Residence in the US does not waive this requirement.

Your most recent TOEFL score must be at least 570 for the paper and pencil test, at least 230 for the computer-based test (CBT), or at least 68 for the Internet-based test (iBT). The average total score of admitted students entering in 2010 is 110 on the iBT. To have your exam results sent to Berkeley's Full-Time MBA Program, list institution code 4833 and department code 02. If you have taken the IELTS, a band score of 7.0 is the minimum required for consideration. For fall 2012 admission, we only accept official scores from exams taken on or after June 1, 2010.

Resources for international students


Reapplicants

If you have submitted an application to the program within the past two years, but were not admitted or did not register, you are required to complete and submit the following portions of the online application:

  • Test scores
  • Employment section, including current resume
  • Education section
  • Applicant acknowledgement
  • Application fee
  • Transcript for any new coursework completed since your prior application
  • Assuming that an application was complete at the time of submission, you will need to answer additional supplemental questions designated in the instructions.
  • For fall 2012, you must submit new test scores if your test was taken before June 1, 2010 (TOEFL) or October 1, 2006 (GMAT).

Updating any other application materials is optional, although the Admissions Committee does note the effort that candidates put into their reapplication.

We strongly recommend that you submit a statement outlining how you have improved your candidacy since your last application, as the Admissions Committee will be looking for substantive change in your qualifications. You can use the optional essay question to provide this information. In addition, you are encouraged to submit one or two new letters of recommendation.

If you have taken the GMAT and TOEFL again, ask the Educational Testing Service to forward the new official scores to the Haas School and note your new score on the Test Score section of the application.

Columbia Business School

Deadline

August 2012 Entry

Early Decision: October 5, 2011
Merit Fellowship Consideration: January 4, 2012
Regular Decision: April 11, 2012

January 2012 Entry

October 5, 2011


One MBA, Two Paths

Columbia Business School students may enroll in either August or January. The two paths, each comprised of four terms, merge in the fall of the second year to complete electives as a single class. The paths are identical in terms of competitiveness of admissions, academic rigor, and student resources, however they differ in terms of timing and the opportunity to complete a summer internship.

August Entry

About 70 percent of Columbia MBA students begin their studies in the fall term. After mandatory orientation in the second half of August, regular classes begin in September. Most August-entry students complete a summer internship between their second and third terms.

The August entry has two review periods — early decision and regular decision. Because the School uses a rolling admissions process, it is always to your advantage to apply well before the deadlin

Early Decision

  • Available for August entry applicants only
  • Application deadline in early October
  • Early decision applications are reviewed, and decisions rendered, before regular decision applications
  • Candidates have decided that Columbia is their first choice and must sign the following statement of commitment within their applications: 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.
  • Applicants must submit a nonrefundable $6,000 tuition deposit within two weeks of admission

Regular Decision

  • Candidates may submit regular decision applications as soon as the application becomes available in the summer
  • Regular decision applications are reviewed after early decision applications
  • No statement of commitment required
  • To be considered for merit-based fellowships, applications must be submitted by the specified merit-based fellowship deadline in early January
  • Final application deadline in April

January Entry

Students who do not want or need an internship may consider beginning their MBA studies in January and completing their second semester of classes 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. About 30 percent of students enter in January.

Please note that there is no early decision option for January entry and that, due the timing of the application cycle, January-entry applicants are not eligible for merit fellowship consideration. The Admissions Office begins reviewing applications for January entry once the application becomes available in May. The final application deadline is in early October.

Important Notes:

We will begin evaluating complete* January and September Early Decision applications upon submission.

We will begin evaluating complete* September Regular Decision applications in December 2010.

*Applications are considered complete only when all required materials have been received.


Essays

Applicants must complete one short answer question and three essays.

Short Answer Question

What is your post-MBA professional goal? (200 characters maximum)

Essay Questions

Considering your post-MBA and long term professional goals, why are you pursuing an MBA at this point in your career? Additionally, why is Columbia Business School a good fit for you? (750 words maximum)

Describe a life experience that has shaped you. The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally. (500 words maximum)

For the third essay, please choose one of the following three options:

  1. The annual A. Lorne Weil Outrageous Business Plan Competition is a student initiative managed and run by the Columbia Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO). The competition encourages Columbia MBA students to explore creative, entrepreneurial ideas that are sufficiently ambitious in scope and scale to be considered “outrageous.” Students explore these ideas while learning firsthand what goes into the development and presentation of a solid business proposal.
    Develop your own outrageous business idea. In essay form, compose your elevator pitch. (250 words maximum)
     
  2. olumbia deeply values its vibrant student community, the building of which begins at orientation when admitted students are assigned to clusters of 65 to 70 fellow students who take most of the first-year core classes together. During the first weeks of school, each cluster selects a cluster chair. Further strengthening the student community are the more than 100 active student organizations at Columbia Business School, ranging from cultural to professional to community service–oriented. Leadership positions within clusters and clubs offer hands-on management and networking opportunities for students as they interact with fellow students, administrators, faculty members, alumni, and practitioners.
    You are running for either cluster chair or a club leadership position of your choosing. Compose your campaign speech. (250 words maximum)
     
  3. ounded nearly three decades ago, the Executives in Residence Program at Columbia Business School integrates senior executives into the life of the School. Current executives in residence include more than a dozen experts in areas ranging from media and investment banking to private equity and management. A hallmark of the program is one-on-one counseling sessions in which executives advise students about their prospective career choices.
    Select one of the current executives in residence with whom you would like to meet during your time at Columbia. Explain your selection and tell us how you would best utilize your half hour one-on-one session. (250 words maximum)

Optional Essay

An optional fourth essay will allow you to discuss any issues that do not fall within the purview of the required essays.

Knight-Bagehot Fellows

Rather than answer the first essay question above, current Knight-Bagehot Fellows applying to Columbia Business School should use the space allocated to the first essay to complete the Wiegers Fellowship application essay.

Wiegers Fellowship Essay Question

What are your career goals? How has the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship affected these goals? How will an MBA help you achieve these goals? (750 words maximum)


Recommendations

All applications require two recommendations. If you have been working full-time for at least six months, one recommendation should be from your current supervisor. The second recommendation should be from either a former direct supervisor or from another professional associate, senior to you, who can add personal insight into your candidacy.

If you are a college senior or have worked full-time for less than six months, at least one, but preferably both, of your recommendations should be from a person who can comment on your managerial abilities. You may ask a summer employer or another person who you feel can objectively assess your professional promise. The second recommendation may be from a college professor.

Recommendation questions include:

  1. What is your relationship to, and how long have you known the applicant? Is this person still employed by your organization? If not, when did he/she depart?
  2. Please provide a short list of adjectives describing the applicant’s strengths.
  3. Please compare the applicant’s performance to that of his/her peers. Does the applicant have the potential to become a senior manager?
  4. How effective are the applicant’s interpersonal skills in working with peers, supervisors, and subordinates?
  5. How does the applicant accept constructive criticism?
  6. Comment on your observations of the applicant’s ethical behavior.
  7. What do you think motivates the candidate’s application to Columbia Business School?
  8. In what ways could the applicant improve professionally?
  9. If you could change one thing about the applicant, what would it be?
  10. Are there any other matters which you feel we should know about the applicant?

Please be aware, the Admissions Committee does require all application materials be submitted online, including recommendations.


International Applicants

Applicants who were educated in a country where original transcripts are not in English must send the Admissions Committee both an official transcript in the original language and a certified English translation along with proof of graduation. If admitted, you must submit an official copy of your transcripts as well as an official certified translation. Columbia Business School does not endorse or recommend any individual provider of translation services.

International students whose native language is not English must take either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the PTE Pearson Test of English. You may be exempted from the TOEFL or the PTE if you have earned a degree from an institution based in a country in which English is the primary official language and at which the official language of instruction is English. For example, if you earned a degree from an institution in India where the language of instruction was English, you still must take the TOEFL or the PTE, since according to the Indian government the primary official language in India is Hindi.

The TOEFL and PTE scores are valid for two years. Your TOEFL or PTE score must be valid up through the start of your MBA studies at Columbia Business School. For example, for August 2012 entry, TOEFL scores must be dated August 21, 2010, or more recently.

Be sure to self-report your TOEFL or PTE score when completing your application. If admitted, you must submit an official score report via www.toefl.org (Columbia’s ETS code is 2174, MBA department code 02). For the PTE be sure to select "Columbia Business School" from the list of schools provided by Pearson. The Admissions Committee will consider only your highest score when reviewing your application
