Admissions Requirements
Columbia Business School selects applicants from varied business and other backgrounds who have the potential to become successful global leaders. The Admissions Committee seeks to develop a thorough understanding of each applicant before rendering a decision.
We assess candidates in three basic areas:
Academic Strength
The committee values academic performance and seeks candidates who demonstrate superior intellectual ability. Professional Promise
Close attention is paid to each applicant’s professional accomplishments, as well as to his or her professional ambitions. The committee seeks applicants who have developed a strong foundation and / or essential skills for their future professional goals. Personal Characteristics
The committee seeks to enroll individuals of strong character who have proven themselves as both leaders and team players. They look for applicants who are well rounded and interesting and who have demonstrated the will and ability to actively contribute to the well-being of their community.
The Admissions Committee seeks to select a group of people representing an extraordinary variety of professions, nationalities, ethnicities, and personal interests.
Columbia Business School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, nationality, sexual orientation, political affiliation, disability, or veteran status.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution.
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). (Please review our associated guidelines).
International students whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). You may be exempted from the TOEFL 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. Interviews
Interviews are not required for admission to Columbia Business School. Once the Admissions Office receives a complete application, a prospective student may be invited to interview. Conducted by alumni and current students who are members of the Columbia Business School Ambassadors program, these interviews are offered around the globe. Interviews are by invitation only and cannot be requested.
Pre-Enrollment Requirements
Prior to actual enrollment you will be required to complete and pass the PreMBA online course. It is designed to facilitate your reentry into academic life by refreshing and introducing you to concepts required in the demanding core and orientation curricula. Several deliverables, which are prerequisites for matriculation, will be due approximately one month prior to orientation. It is estimated that these deliverables will take 25-40 hours to complete, depending upon your background.
All students are expected to arrive on time and attend the entire orientation program. Any incoming student who cannot meet this expectation will forfeit his or her place in the class.
Please note, information and requirements are subject to change without notice.作者: stream 时间: 2010-5-20 09:39

Essays
Applicant Essays : Answer all 3 essay questions.
Today, companies must navigate through complex and interdependent issues. They must deal with health and security matters, environmental impact questions, and diversity and cultural concerns. Leaders need adaptability, imagination, emotional intelligence, and business acumen. Thus, Duke is in the midst of an ambitious global venture that will embed and connect us around the world, and we are seeking future leaders of consequence, who value diversity and collaborative leadership, and who aspire to impact the companies and communities of which they are a part in a lasting and positive way.
In an effort to identify, engage, and foster the development of future leaders of consequence, the Admissions Committee would like to get to know our applicants in a more holistic manner. We would like to know who you are, what has shaped you into the person you are today, and how you hope to impact both Duke and the communities of which you will be a part in the future. The essays are your opportunity to convey that to us. Please be open, genuine, and passionate. Share with us what makes you a dynamic, multi-dimensional person.
1.Describe your vision for your career and your inspiration for pursuing this career path.
2.How will your background, values, and non-work activities enhance the experience of other Duke MBA students and add value to Fuqua's diverse culture?
3.Why Duke? (If you are interested in a specific concentration, joint degree, clubs or activities, please discuss how you would contribute to these in this essay.)
Optional Essay (not required)
If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g., unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application).
Re-applicant Essay
All re-applicants are required to complete the Re-applicant Essay. Please limit your response to two pages. Write an essay describing how you are now a stronger candidate for admission compared to the application you submitted the previous year.作者: stream 时间: 2010-5-24 09:47

We do not release admission decisions via telephone or in person.
Essay Questions for Class of 2013 (entering Fall 2011)
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 are your career aspirations? What do you need to learn at Stanford to achieve them?
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, established, or expected. 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
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 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 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.
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. This person should not be a supervisor or subordinate. 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. 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
Please briefly describe your relationship to the candidate, and describe the circumstances under which you have known her or him.
How does the candidate’s performance compare to other well-qualified individuals in similar roles?
What (if any) legacy has this candidate left on your organization?
Describe the most constructive feedback you have given the candidate. Please also detail the circumstances that caused you to give the feedback.
Is there anything else (positive or negative) we should know about the candidate? For Your Peer/Team recommender
Please briefly describe your relationship to the candidate, and describe the circumstances under which you have known her or him.
Describe how the candidate has generated support from others for an idea or initiative.
What (if any) lasting impact has this candidate left on your organization?
Describe the most constructive feedback you have given the candidate. Please also detail the circumstances that caused you to give the feedback.
Is there anything else (positive or negative) we should know about the candidate?
All 3 of your recommenders will also be asked to appraise you on some competencies and character traits that contribute to successful leadership. » Leadership Behavior Grid
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. Step 3: Recommender Completes and Submits Recommendation
After logging in, your recommender has access to an exact 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 receiving 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. Application Requirements for Class of 2013* More Details:http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/ ... n_requirements.html作者: stream 时间: 2010-5-24 11:08

Round 2
Deadline: January 5, 2011
Notification: March 16, 2011

Notification: May 18, 2011
The Chicago Booth application will be available in July. For more information on the program’s deadlines and application process, make sure to visit the school website.
Submission Deadline
Your application must be submitted by 5 p.m. (CST/Chicago time) on the day of the deadline in order to be considered for an application round. This includes receipt of all online and mailed-in materials. Applications submitted after a deadline will automatically be considered in the next round, as long as all materials are included with the application.
Essay Questions
Below are the essay questions for the Fall 2011 application.
1. The Admissions Committee is interested in learning more about you on both a personal and professional level. Please answer the following (maximum of 300 words for each section):
Why are you pursuing a full-time MBA at this point in your life?
Define your short and long term career goals post MBA.
What is it about Chicago Booth that is going to help you reach your goals?
RE-APPLICANTS ONLY: Upon reflection, how has your thinking regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application?
2. Chicago Booth is a place that challenges its students to stretch and take risks that they might not take elsewhere. Tell us about a time when you took a risk and what you learned from that experience (maximum of 750 words).
3. At Chicago Booth, we teach you HOW to think rather than what to think. With this in mind, we have provided you with “blank pages” in our application. Knowing that there is not a right or even a preferred answer allows you to demonstrate to the committee your ability to navigate ambiguity and provide information that you believe will support your candidacy for Chicago Booth.
Essay Question 3 Guidelines
We have set forth the following guidelines:
The content is completely up to you. Acceptable file formats are PowerPoint or PDF.
There is a strict maximum of four pages, though you can provide fewer if you choose.
The document will be printed in color and added to your file for review; therefore, flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your points.
The file will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation.
Files need to be less than 9 megabytes in order to upload. If your file is too large you may save your file as a PDF and upload your essay.
Application Checklist
Your application will consist of the following items:
completed application with required personal background
completed essays
professional resume
two letters of recommendation
unofficial transcripts from all post-secondary educational institutions from which you have earned a degree. Only if you are admitted will you be required to submit official transcripts. Any official transcripts received prior to an offer of admissions will not be added to your file.

TOEFL or IELTS scores (international applicants only)
International Applicants
Chicago Booth actively seeks a rich pool of applicants from around the globe. With four campuses on three continents, over 48 countries represented in the current student body, and an alumni network that spans over 101 countries, Chicago Booth is a truly global community. Read more about the International Community at Chicago Booth and meet current international students.
Academic Requirements
All international applicants are required to hold a college or university degree equivalent to a four-year American baccalaureate degree.

You will be asked to either submit official academic records or provide a scanned transcript.
English Language Examinations
For those whose native language is not English, Chicago Booth requires the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the academic version of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
Read more about the English Language exam requirements.
When to Apply
We encourage international students to apply for admission in Rounds One or Two. An early application will allow you sufficient time to secure a student visa should you be admitted. While we recommend that international students apply in earlier rounds, there is sufficient time for students to apply for and secure a visa in Round Three.
Financing
Chicago Booth provides financing opportunities for all students regardless of their citizenship, with or without a co-signer. More information regarding the program will be made available to students via the admitted student's website upon admission to the program.
There are also several scholarships & fellowships available to international students. Read more about scholarships and fellowships.
Student Visas
Should an offer of admission be extended and accepted, international students are eligible to apply for either an F-1 or J-1 Visa. To meet the eligibility requirements for a student visa, international students must show proof of equivalent academic documents (diplomas), results from the TOEFL/IELTS examination (please review the English Language Exam Requirements for waiver eligibility), and financial resources to pursue their course of study. Detailed information regarding the requirements and application process to obtain a student visa is sent to admitted students in the spring.作者: stream 时间: 2010-5-24 11:10 标题: Dartmouth / Tuck MBA Deadlines 2010-2011

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 to mbaadmissions@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 at aaoadmissions@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作者: stream 时间: 2010-5-24 11:10 标题: UNC / Kenan-Flagler MBA Deadlines 2010-2011

Ohio State University (Fisher)
Deadline
We process applications on a rolling admissions basis, meaning that we review and evaluate applications as they are submitted to our program rather than waiting until the deadline to begin the review process. We also award merit-based funding on a rolling basis, so it is to your advantage to apply early, as the availability of specific funding opportunities declines as the application season progresses.
Please use these recommended deadlines as guidelines for completing your application. Within two to four weeks of submitting a complete application, including all required supplementary materials, you will hear from the Admissions Committee regarding the outcome of its initial review.
Our recommended application deadlines for the 2010/2011 application year:
October 29th *
* As a reflection of our commitment to action-learning and global experiences as part of our MBA program, individuals who apply by the October 29th deadline, are offered admission to the program and matriculate as students will receive a $1,000 voucher that can be used during their time in the Fisher MBA program to support professional or academic travel (study abroad, elective treks, Emerging Market Field Study, conferences, etc.)
December 15th ** (priority funding consideration)
**Applicants who submit by this deadline and are offered admission to the program will automatically be considered for all merit-based funding opportunities available for MBA students. Some award packages are exclusively reserved for applicants who submit by December 15th, so we encourage you to submit early if funding is a strong consideration in your selection process.
January 5th
March 1st
April 15th
Applications will be accepted after April 15th on a space available basis. Please feel free to submit an application after this date, as we will post a message on our website when applications are no longer being accepted for Autumn 2011.
Essays
Essay questions give you the opportunity to present yourself more fully to our MBA Admissions Committee and to provide insight into your experiences, goals, and thought processes.
Required Essay Format
Clearly label each essay at the top of the page with your name and the essay number (e.g., essay #1, #2, or #3) and/or essay title.
Double space your essays, and use a font that is easy to read (e.g. Arial). We suggest a 10-point font.
Number all essay pages at the bottom of the page.
Stay within the limit of number of words per essay.
Be genuine. The content and wording should reflect who you are and allow the MBA Admissions Committee to gain insight into your personality and what motivates you.
Be the sole author of your essays. While we encourage you to seek feedback from family, friends, and business colleagues to ensure that your essays capture the essence of who you are, we strongly discourage you from letting their feedback influence the core thought processes that drive this creative exercise.
Provide examples. Making a general statement about who you are or citing your accomplishments is powerful only if you can provide the reader with underlying examples of actions that define your personality or activities that led you to success in a given project or work assignment.
Invest time in writing your essays. Since the MBA Admissions Committee places great emphasis on well-structured, well-written essays that allow them to get a true "feel" for you, essays play an important role in the overall evaluation of an application.
Every year Fisher College’s MBA program admits a select group of talented professionals with demonstrated potential to become successful business leaders in an increasingly competitive, global environment. Briefly summarize your professional accomplishments to date. If you have not held a full-time job or are still in college, let us know about your leadership accomplishments in a school, internship, or extracurricular context.
Also, why do you want to earn an MBA degree in general and a Fisher College MBA in particular? Include your post-MBA goals, both short-term and long-term, and outline your plan for achieving them.
At the core of our mission is our dedication to developing leaders. Successful leaders have a number of shared characteristics, and we would like you to choose two out of the 10 attributes that best describe you, your leadership style, and/or your leadership successes to date:
Creativity
Communication Skills
Curiosity
Empathy
Endurance
Global Outlook
Integrity
Passion
Self Awareness
Vision
Please provide us with clear evidence of your accomplishments for the two chosen attributes. You have three options for doing so:
Option 1*: You may submit physical objects, images, photographs, or photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how these objects exemplify the leadership qualities you selected. For example, to illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of your marathon medal, along with a short paragraph describing this experience.
Option 2: You may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership traits. Maximum words per essay: 500
Option 3: You may combine options 1 and 2.
* You may send objects to MBA Admissions, 100 Gerlach Hall, 2108 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210. Please note that Fisher College will not be responsible for returning physical objects to applicants.
As a Fisher College MBA student, you get the best of both worlds: the up-close and personal feel of a small program combined with the resources and opportunities offered by a major research university. As an individual participant, you will play a key role in shaping our culture. Consequently, we would like to learn more about who you are and the unique characteristics you will contribute to the Fisher College community.
Provide an honest description of yourself outside your professional context, stressing the personal characteristics you believe to be your strengths and weaknesses, along with the factors that have most influenced your development to date.
