Applicants with a bachelor’s degree from an AACSB-accredited institution and an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher may request a waiver for the GMAT/GRE. However, all are merit-based, and submitting a test score significantly increases your chances of receiving funding through scholarships or a Graduate Assistantship. You can find more information here under the “Ready to Apply?” section within the “Ace The Test(s)” tab.

Both Scholarships and Graduate Assistantships are merit based, so taking the GRE/GMAT are imperative if you want to be considered. Scholarship cutoffs are generally the top 10% of the applicant pool depending on disbursement size.

The personal statement can be as technical or as personal as you want. We already have your academic records and resume, so do not simply rehash those. Focus on what you want to do and why you want to do it. Make sure that your personal statement has a story or flow to it. It should be easy to follow and makes sense where we are going and how we got there. You can find more information here under the “Ready to Apply?” section within the “Prepare Your Materials” tab.

We carefully review everything you submit so feel free to include anything that highlights your strengths and demonstrates why you would be a great fit for the program. Rather than just listing a high GPA or minor, showcase your leadership and involvement, such as foundering a club or serving as an active member or officer in one. Share what you do outside of class, whether it is an on-campus job, internship, or other nonacademic experiences. If you had a defining moment that led you to pursue an MBA, be sure to include that as well. This is your opportunity to highlight your accomplishments, so do not be afraid to brag, but do so thoughtfully.

Please refer to the admissions section of our website for specific application deadlines for both the Traditional and STEM/CREATE MBA programs. For Traditional MBA applicants, applying early is highly recommended, as seats fill on a rolling basis and fewer spots remain in later rounds. To maximize your chances of admission and scholarship opportunities, we encourage you to apply early.
