Application Deadlines

Admission Decision Process

• All application materials must be submitted by specified deadlines to receive an admissions decision by the indicated notification date.
• Applications submitted prior to the posted deadlines are encouraged and will receive priority consideration.
• Applications will continue to be accepted and considered after published deadlines on a limited, space available basis.
• A complete application includes: online application, essays, resume, application fee, two letters of recommendation, official transcripts, official GMAT score, and TOEFL score if applicable.
• Files are generally reviewed by the Admissions Committee within two weeks of the date of completion.
• If application materials are not postmarked by the indicated date, the application will be sent to the Admissions Committee for review once all materials are received.
• Applicants may review their application and materials status online.

Applying Early

To ensure that your MBA application experience is the best possible, we suggest you apply prior to posted deadlines. Applying early:

• Allows you to complete your GMAT exam within your desired admissions deadline. The few GMAT test centers available in Arizona have been filling up quickly this year.
• Ensures the best chance at securing your seat in the MBA program as well as your first choice of campus location. With limited seats available, classes and campus locations fill up during the final admissions rounds.
• Provides time for the Admissions Office to conduct a preliminary review of your application to identify any “red flags” that could result in a denial or incomplete decision before the Admissions Committee conducts its final review.
• Prevents you from being charged a late processing fee. Any application submitted after July 1 for Fall enrollment is subject to an additional $250 late processing fee.  Applications submitted after December 1 for Spring enrollment are subject to an additional $50 late processing fee.
