To view résumé guidelines and the essay question, please register for the online application.

Transcripts
The Simon School requires an uploaded scanned copy of an unofficial transcript from each school attended, regardless of whether you obtained a degree. We will NOT accept self-reported, self-created, or self-translated versions. Transcripts should include degree conferred and conferral date (if applicable).  Applicants must confirm that the uploaded transcript is readable prior to submitting the online application. All international transcripts that are uploaded should also include a scanned copy of the official translation into English by a certified translator, as well as an uploaded diploma (including certified English translation) indicating the degree received.

We will request an official transcript only after admission. Transcripts from year-abroad programs are not necessary if all courses and grades are included on your undergraduate transcript. If there are discrepancies between the self-reported academic work and official records, the offer of admission will be withdrawn. Offers of admission are not binding until academic records are verified.

We will request official GMAT and TOEFL score reports only after admission. If there are discrepancies between the uploaded scanned copy of the Test Taker Report and the Official Score Report from Pearson Vue or ETS, respectively, the offer of admission will be withdrawn. Offers of admission are not binding until score reports are verified.

Recommendations
There is one online recommendation required for submission. A second letter of recommendation is optional. Applicants should select recommenders who are best able to evaluate their potential for employment in business, management and leadership, and for graduate study in business. It is advisable to have at least one recommendation completed by a current or past employer or supervisor. Recommendations from friends, family members, acquaintances, or other sources not able to evaluate a candidate on professional or academic basis are unacceptable. Applicants may submit their online application prior to the letters of recommendation, however, it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that their recommenders submit their online evaluations on or before the application deadline. Hard copy recommendations will not be accepted.

Application Fee
The $125.00 (U.S.) application fee is non-refundable. Forms of payment accepted are check, money order or credit card (MasterCard, Visa or Discover). Checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank and made payable to "The University of Rochester". If a personal check is used, please add the applicant's name in the lower left-hand corner. Please note that the application will not be processed by the Admissions Committee until the application fee is received.

Interview
During the application cycle, interviews are by invitation of the Admissions Committee. If you are located in North America and are invited to interview, it will be held on-campus on a weekday Monday through Thursday or on select Saturdays. During your visit you will conduct your formal admissions interview with an Admissions Committee member or alumnus, have the opportunity to sit in on a Simon class, and go on a campus tour with a current Simon student.

If you are not currently located in North America and are invited to interview, the interview will be conducted using the Skype Internet phone or in-person in selected international locations. A reliable Internet connection, a microphone, a web camera and a Skype ID are required prior to the scheduling of the interview. You will be able to view your interviewer during the exchange and they will be able to view you, so please plan your interview accordingly. Learn more about Skype here.

An applicant who is tardy or absent for an admissions interview will run the risk of losing the opportunity to interview. A minimum notice of two business days is required to request an interview be rescheduled. Requests to reschedule an interview must be submitted in writing to admissions@simon.rochester.edu explaining the circumstance.

If you wish to request an interview and campus visit, call or e-mail the Admissions Office. Priority in scheduling appointments is given to applicants who have already submitted an application and received a preliminary review by the Admissions Committee. However, the Admissions Office may select candidates for a campus visit based upon submission of GMAT/TOEFL scores and a current résumé, if an application has not been submitted and reviewed.
