MBA Application Deadlines Full-Time MBA 2021-2022 Intake

Full-Time MBA application deadlines of top business schools for the 2022 intake


_________________

Oxford Said details seem to be wrong. The website mentions Round 1 on Sep 1 and Round 2 on Oct 13, and there seems to be no mention of a early entry round. Nikhil bb Kindly confirm on this

That's right, R2 is Oct 13, and R1 is not listed as early action.

Thanks, ARINGO for chiming in. I have corrected the Stage 2 deadline.

Different schools follow different terminology. So, yes, Oxford doesn't have any Early action but it has stages

Hey,

Looking for a link to all essay questions for 2022. I see a topic "2021 MBA Deadlines & Essay Topics of Top Schools" for last year. Is there some thread for this year?

kagrawal16, you can see essay questions for 2022 here: https://www.aringo.com/mba-essay-topics/

Hi bb Nikhil
Is the chance of getting admission less when we apply in R2 instead of R1 ?
Any major Cons of applying in R2 ?

piyushluniya hi
Shimri from ARINGO here
(don't worry, BB and Nikhil love it when I answer questions meant for them )

In theory, R1 is always better.
The chances might be slightly higher (especially in Early Action Rounds for the few schools that have them) for both acceptance and scholarships, and even if they were the same, from a project management perspective, R1 is always better, as you want to know the answers by November/December, in case you need to apply to some backup options as well (or have more time to plan you are going away party).

BUT (and this is a big BUT), R2 s ALWAYS better with a stronger application (for example 20+ more points on the GMAT)

So the bottom line
Aim for R1, BUT, always apply only when your application is maximized (GMAT, Essays, CV, online application, LORs, etc.) don't compromise, and if you feel your app is not strong enough, wait till R2!

Hope this helps (naturally, I tried to generalize this for ALL schools, which is probably wrong, but it gives general guidelines)
GOOD LUCK!
Shimri

From where i can get 2023 deadlines?

Currently only from tea leaves and a magic lake 😬

The only program that has announced their deadlines for 2023 that I am aware of is HBS. Mostly that’s because they don’t have R3 and their season has ended a little while ago.

Pretty much all the other schools are still in there around three. Stanford is releasing their decisions tomorrow and Thursday.

Historically the top schools lead the way announcing their decisions in June while lowering schools tend to come out with their timelines in July… which is why this topic was created July 13 of last year 😇

Is there any list of colleges which have an early action round? specifically, for Mim or masters in finance?

Sorry, I am not an MiM person - probably best to ask in the MiM Sub-forum:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/masters-prog ... nting-148/

As to the MBA programs, a few do have Early Action - Fuqua, Columbia, Darden and that's all that comes to mind right now.
You can probably just look at the MiM deadlines for the last year and see what early deadlines exist but my understanding is that MiM tend to have later deadlines in general (usually October timeframe with some in late Sept).

Thx.
BB.

This is very useful. Thank you very much for sharing. This list helps a lot to strategize the GMAT or GRE and have in mind how a prospective MBA student needs to start its preparation in terms of essays, recommendations, documents and be prepared for the further interviews. Many thanks.
