EARLIER APPLICATION DEADLINES

I’ve often wondered why it took MBA Admissions Offices so long to set their deadlines and post their new application essays. Most schools wait till July and August to post their essays leaving applicants with less time to complete their application (especially those applying in the first round).

The Good news is that Stanford GSB and HBS have posted their essays and deadlines already.   These two schools have also moved their round one deadline to the beginning of October and their notification date to December. Applicants will find out quicker about their application outcome leaving them more time to explore other courses of action if things don’t work out. Columbia with its early decision admission has confirmed its deadlines as well. Hopefully more schools will update their essay and deadline requirements sooner.
