MBA application deadlines for Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3 of the 2023-2024 admissions cycle are listed below (with extra information about early decision and Round 4 / Round 5 deadlines at schools that offer them).
Where deadlines are not yet available, we have inserted a dash (-); we encourage you to check back soon for updated deadlines.
Application deadlines don’t change much from year to year, so if you are planning to apply for an MBA in a future year, you can still reference this data. The application deadlines next year for a given MBA program are very likely to be similar to the ones this year for that same MBA program.
Where deadlines are not yet available, we have inserted a dash (-); we encourage you to check back soon for updated deadlines.

Application dates sometimes change throughout the MBA admissions cycle. Although we do our best to keep our information up-to-date, please see the business schools’ websites for confirmation.
Columbia’s “Round 1” date listed above is considered “Early Decision” and is for August-entry applicants only. Candidates applying in this round indicate Columbia is their first choice, and must pay a nonrefundable $6,000 tuition deposit.
Similarly, UNC Kenan Flager’s Round 1 date is treated as “Early Action” meaning applicants are committed to enrolling at the school upon acceptance and must pay a $3,000 deposit.
In addition to a traditional Round 1 deadline, the following schools have an “Early Action” deadline:
| Schools | Deadline | Decision |
| Duke Fuqua | Sep 7, 2022 | Oct 20, 2022 |
| UVA Darden | Sep 8, 2022 | Oct 19, 2022 |
Finally, a few MBA programs offer a Round 4 deadline, which is the last application round of the year at those schools.
| Schools | Deadline | Decision |
| NYU Stern | March 15, 2023 | June 1, 2023 |
| Vanderbilt Owen | May 10, 2023 | Rolling Admission |
| UNC Kenan-Flagler | April 17, 2023 | May 22, 2023 |
