FAQs

  • As of the 2023-2024 application cycle, we will accept the IELTS, TOEFL and PTE exam score. We also pay careful attention to a student’s GMAT (verbal percentile and AWA score), written and spoken English, recommender observations, and exposure to language, in addition to the GRE. Applicants who earned a baccalaureate or advanced degree at an institution in which the medium of instruction was English, or who have had considerable exposure to the language, may waive the test. A waiver request may be submitted as part of your application. Learn about other important information and resources for international applicants on our International MBA students page.

  • We interview by invitation only. After we review the completed application, we select candidates for interviews. No candidate is admitted without an interview. Read more about the details and how to prepare for our Team-Based Discussion interview format.

  • Yes. We do not exclude candidates who have an MBA or any other graduate degree. You should, however, fully explain your reasons for pursuing a second MBA in your application.

  • The minimum requirements to apply to the MBA program include: Completion of an undergraduate program in an accredited U.S. college or its equivalent in another country.
