<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt MER, we have\ncompiled information about a few significant changes made by some business\nschools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Extension for Round 3 Deadlines<\/strong>: Some schools have extended deadlines for Round 3 applicants\u2013 Stern<\/em> (May 1), Mendoza<\/em> (May 1), Emory<\/em> (for both 1-year- April 15 and 2-year MBA- July 1), IMD<\/em> (May 1), Columbia<\/em> (June 1), Ross <\/em>(May 29), Darden<\/em> (July 15), and W.P. Carey (June 1). Rice<\/em> has converted Round 3 to rolling admissions. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. No Extension of Round 3 Deadlines but other changes:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of extending Round 3 deadlines, some schools are being flexible in different ways. For example, Marshall, Yale, Cornell, Kelley (<\/em>April 15), SAID, HEC, Tepper, and Stanford haven\u2019t extended Round 3 deadlines. However, Yale<\/em> is adding a Round 3 extending deadline of May 27 for applicants who could not apply by the Round 3 deadline of April 14. Also, it has allowed applicants to submit their test scores by April 24. Cornell<\/em> and INSEAD<\/em> have allowed applicants to submit their test scores by June 1. Teppe<\/em>r will accept unofficial test scores by May 21, and Kelley<\/em> will accept the applications on a rolling basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harvard <\/em>has extended the deadline for 2+2 applicants. Ross<\/em> is maintaining the Round 3 deadline of March 30 but adding an extension of the deadline to May 29. The applications received after March 30 will be evaluated on a rolling basis. SAID<\/em> allows applicants to submit their applications for the fourth and final round (deadline April 3) without GMAT\/GRE\/English Language test scores, provided all other components of their applications are complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Introduction of Round 4<\/strong>: Some schools have introduced Round 4 to offer a chance to those applicants who couldn\u2019t apply in Round 3 because of these exceptional circumstances- Tuck, Haas (<\/em>Deadline May 4), Foster ( <\/em>Deadline May 19), Owen, and McCombs (<\/em>Deadline April 24 for domestic applicants).<\/em> Tuck\u2019s<\/em> Round 4 will be on a rolling basis from April 1 to June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. GMAT\/ GRE Scores after Application Submission<\/strong>: Since GMAT Test testers are closed, some schools have allowed applicants to submit GMAT\/GRE after submitting their applications: Kellogg, Wharton, Kelley, INSEAD, Rochester, SAID, IESE and HEC<\/em>. McCombs<\/em> allows international applicants to apply without test scores, but the application decision will be made after the applicants will submit their scores. WP Carey<\/em> may waive GMAT\/GRE based on a strong GPA, work experience, and interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rochester<\/em> and Terry<\/em> will also be accepting applications without test scores. Darden<\/em> has offered to accept ACT and SAT in place of GMAT and GRE. In addition to the onsite GMAT\/GRE, Georgetown<\/em> is now taking the online GMAT\/GRE and expired GMAT\/GRE scores, the Executive Assessment, MCAT, and LSAT. Tippie<\/em> has simplified the admission process and no longer requires GMAT\/GRE scores for its online and PMBA programs. All the schools will be accepting online GMAT, GRE, or TOEFL exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Rolling Admissions<\/strong>: Some schools have moved to rolling admissions- Rochester, Kelley.<\/em> After the Round 3 deadline of April 8 deadline, Kellogg <\/em>is moving to rolling admissions for Round 3 through June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Waiver of Application Fee<\/strong>: Some schools have gone ahead and waived the application fee to help the MBA applicants: W. P. Carey, Rice, Kenna Flagler (<\/em>through April 30), Mendoza, Emory<\/em>, Vanderbilt,<\/em> and Tippie<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MBA applicants for\nthe last rounds of this application season and the next admission cycle may\nwant to take advantage of these flexibilities and utilize this difficult time\nby working towards pursuing their MBA plans. Undoubtedly, we are living in\nexceptionally uncertain times, but life must go on. Hopefully, things will get\nbetter soon, and students will be able to have their regular MBA experience at\ntheir chosen campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
