There are a few programs in the top 10/50 that do rolling admissions. Columbia Business School is probably the most famous rolling admissions program. We can pull a list from our database of rounds and deadlines to see the rolling ones.

P.S. Any reason in particular you are looking for this list?

Hi Asad,  Narenn  mentioned that Columbia, NUS Singapore, and SDA Bocconi are the major MBA programs that do rolling admissions. It is not much per se.

I am personally not aware of many benefits of the rolling admissions policy except that it potentially allows one to apply "in-between" rounds, such as in October/November instead of Sept/Oct for R1 and Jan for R2.

Thank you so much for your kind info. bb , Narenn I've also heard that the following universities also use 'rolling admission'. Could you take a look, plz? https://fisher.osu.edu/graduate/ftmba/admissions https://mba.ncsu.edu/admissions/admissi ... deadlines/ Also, I'll be helpful if you explain a bit on "Materials Deadline" in Round 2 in the attachment.

Hi, for universities that have rolling admission, do they get 'slower' in evaluating applications during the end of December for holiday? Is university office usually closed in the end of December, even it is not officially holiday on calendar (beside 24, 25, 31, Dec and 1 Jan)

bb · Answer

😂 you are correct. Nothing gets done and universities at the end of December. All the staffing professors and students are off.

Usually, when there is a rolling application timeframe, there are still certain dates when did missions committee meets and discusses the applicants. Usually they would do it at least once a month which is why the turnaround time is often 4 to 6 weeks. Nothing will get done between the 22 of Dec and Jan 3. So if you were going to submit an application, you might as well wait until the 3 fourth January

Do you have guess when they will meet after the holiday? Maybe the week after holiday

bb · Answer

Frankly I don’t know, but my guess would be first week to be safe

hi, for rolling admission, is it possible to 'negotiate' with adcom so that our application can be processed sooner? Say that I have a scholarship application that is approaching deadline and it requires acceptance letter (If I am admitted)? Anybody can share any advice/experience?
