Apply for both J and A Terms?

Question

It was not very clear on the admissions website, but are you eligible to apply for both the January Entry and August Entry?

PersonalMBACoach · Answer

Usually applicants choose when they want to start. Is there a reason you are interested in both?

VeritasPrepDozie · Answer

Typically the entry point at CBS plays into some other rationale that should be clear through your application. Most J-Term applicants plan to stay in the same industry or are looking for more of an entrepreneurial career since there is no opportunity for a summer internship. So these programs tend to be based more on a career or fit with your development goals. Most likely applying to both will be viewed like applying to the school twice in the same year so doubt it is actually possible or a good idea, it will show a little bit of confusion on your end.

Agree with the advice above on why you should just pick one... and I'll add another comment: based on my work with past clients, my understanding is that you HAVE to pick one or the other when you start your application. As in, you literally cannot do both because their application system makes you choose one or the other from the outset. I wouldn't want to be "that guy" who attempts to do a second profile to get around their system!

Hope that helps!
