SBA Priority Dates

Applications are reviewed on an early admission system. Review begins in March for the following fall term. Because all seats in an entering cohort may be committed before the end of the admission period, applicants are urged to submit complete applications as early as possible. Applicants are usually notified of the admission decision within six weeks of receipt of a complete application file.

Complete applications are processed in the order they are received. When the cohort is full, applications are no longer accepted for that application period.

For highest consideration, completed applications (including official GMAT score report) should be received by the SBA by March 1 for international applicants and April 1 for domestic applicants. Therefore, we recommend that you take the GMAT in or before February to allow the usual 3-5 week delivery time for the official GMAT report.
