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.

Early Birds Toolkit
In MBA admissions, starting early can significantly boost your chances.
But there are no shortcuts, and while R1 2024 deadlines might seem far off, building your profile takes time.
Our Early Birds Toolkit has everything you need to get started right now—leave your name and email, and we’ll send you three actionable steps to elevate your profile, plus time-saving tools for faster progress.
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 |
