MBA Deadlines for International Candidates
Many top business schools do not mention specific deadlines for international candidates, but as these schools are worried international candidates will not complete their visa processes in time, they advise them to apply in earlier rounds. The following schools address these issues and explicitly advise international MBA candidates on their last deadlines:
- Duke – “You are strongly encouraged to apply by the Round 3 deadline to ensure sufficient time for visa processing.”
- HEC – “For non EU nationals, we encourage you to apply sooner (not in last 2 rounds) due to housing and student visas”.
- UNC – Round 3 is the final deadline for international applicants.
- NYU – for Tech MBA and Fashion MBA programs, Only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents may apply by this deadline. Applicants who are non-U.S. citizens at the time of submitting their application must apply no later than the January 18 deadline.
- Georgetown – International students are encouraged to apply by round 2.
- Mendoza – International candidates are strongly encouraged to apply by January 10, 2024, to allow time for visa paperwork and processing.
