Admissions FAQ

If I send you my GMAT score, TOEFL score, GPA and work experience, can you tell me if I would be considered for admission to the program?

Our admission decisions take into account many factors, some of which are easily quantified, but many of which are not.  The only way that we can assess a candidate for admission is to review the entire application, including transcripts, recommendations, essays, and resume.  To get a better idea about how you fit against the composition of the class, detailed information is provided on the Admissions Profile page.  Or participate in one of our IM sessions to get answers to your questions.

Once I have submitted my application, will I automatically be scheduled for an interview?

As much as we would like to interview every applicant to the program, we receive too many applications to allow us to do so.  Interviews are based on the competitiveness of the application.  Candidates may be interviewed on campus, by phone or in locations to which we travel.  An interview will be required of all candidates considered for admission to the program.  Read about interviews in more depth.

Is work experience required for admission to the program?  What is the right amount of experience to have?

We do not have a minimum requirement for work experience.  However, the majority of our students have 3-4 years of work experience.  Applicants who are admitted directly from their undergraduate studies typically have very strong academic records, have leadership experiences in community or extra-curricular organizations and have meaningful internship or other work experiences.

Can I major or concentrate in an area such as finance or marketing?

Our program is designed to provide a well-rounded, general management education, but with the flexibility to go deeper in specific subject areas based on your personal and professional goals.  The six-credit Career Acceleration Modules (CAMs) provide intensive exploration of topic areas.  Spring electives provide more traditional three-credit coverage of academic subjects.  You are the one who decides whether to choose electives that concentrate in one area or which complement each other to provide a comprehensive base of knowledge.
