Admissions

The Evening MBA Program admits new students four times a year, for the autumn, winter, spring and summer quarters. The Weekend MBA Program admits new students in the autumn quarter only. Application review is on a rolling basis for both of these programs. Chicago Business Fellows, a subset of the Evening MBA Program that targets individuals with 0-3 years of post-undergraduate work experience, are admitted in the autumn quarter only. Applications are not reviewed on a rolling basis.

Here's an overview of the application process:

  • Application - It is highly recommended that you use our online application and provide supporting materials according to the following deadlines. If you wish to submit a paper application, access the online system and download a copy of the application. However, we strongly suggest you register with the online system to receive emails about events and the application process.

  • Interviews - Interviews are required of all applicants to the Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Programs. Admissions interviews are conducted by the Admissions Committee, comprised of Chicago Booth staff, students, and alumni, and are held at Gleacher Center, our downtown campus. All interviews, regardless of who conducts them, receive equal weight in the evaluation process. 

    Our office will contact you to schedule an interview once your application has been received. Interviews are conducted on weekdays at 4pm, 5pm and 6pm, as well as one Saturday a month. Please call the admissions office at 312.464.8700 to inquiry about the Super Saturday Interview dates.
  • Decisions - All decisions are released through the online application system under the "Application Status" section.

Application Deadlines

Your application must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (CST/Chicago time) on the day of the deadline in order to be considered for an application round. This includes receipt of all online and mailed-in materials, as well as conducting your admission interview. Applications submitted after a deadline will not be considered for that quarter.
