Which Round Should You Apply In?
Most MBA programs have three application rounds:
  • Round 1: September–October
  • Round 2: January
  • Round 3: March–April
In general:
  • Round 1: Best for applicants who are fully prepared and want maximum scholarship opportunities.
  • Round 2: The most popular round and still highly competitive.
  • Round 3: Seats and scholarships are limited, especially for international applicants.
Schools with Additional Rounds or Early Action/Early Decision
  • Columbia Business School
  • Duke Fuqua
  • Georgetown McDonough
  • Notre Dame Mendoza
  • Ohio Fisher
  • UVA Darden
  • More schools are expected to release their deadlines in the coming weeks. This post will be updated regularly to reflect the latest information.
