Note: MBA/MA–Lauder program applicants can only apply to one of the first two rounds. MBA submatriculation applicants can only apply for the third round.
To be considered for a round, you must submit a complete application by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of the deadline. If you submit an application earlier in a round, which we encourage, you will be able to confirm receipt via your Wharton online account. You will also have more time in which to schedule an interview (Interviews are by invitation only). Applications received after the deadline for Round 1 or 2 are rolled to the next round. No applications for Round 3 will be accepted after the deadline.
When to Apply
General guidelines on when to apply are based on your application type.
- First-time applicants. We strongly encourage you to apply in Round 1 or 2. The first two rounds have no significant difference in terms of level of rigor; the third round is more competitive as we will have selected a good portion of the class. However, there will be sufficient room in Round 3 for the strongest applicants.
- Submatriculants. Wharton undergraduates only are considered submatriculants and should apply in Round 3 so that a more complete academic record is available.
- Reapplicants. We strongly encourage you to apply in Round 1 or 2. For more information, visit Reapplication Procedures.
- International applicants. We advise you to apply in Round 1 or 2 if you need to apply for a student visa in order to study in the U.S. For more information, please visit International Applicants.
- Lauder applicants. Applications are accepted in Rounds 1 and 2 only, to meet the early program start date of May 2013. International Lauder applicants who will need to obtain a visa to study in the U.S. are strongly encouraged to apply in Round 1. For more information, visit the Lauder Program.
