Weekend MBA Deadlines and Decisions: What You Need to Know
Weekend MBA Application Deadlines
Early Deadline: Dec. 1, 2025
Final Deadline: Jan. 19, 2026
Our first Weekend MBA application deadline is quickly approaching, so we are sharing some questions we often get regarding the two deadlines and decision timelines.
When should I apply?
We strongly encourage early applications, as there will be more seats and scholarship money available. Any time before the December deadline is considered early. If you have your materials ready and you feel prepared to apply, hit submit! However, quality is more important than timing. If you need additional time to strengthen your essays, secure a strong recommendation, or finalize your test section, take the time. Do not rush to complete your application by the early deadline just to submit by the early deadline. If you need a few extra weeks to polish your application, please take the time.
In short, aim to apply early if you are ready but do not sacrifice quality for speed. Take the time you need to ensure your application reflects your best work and conveys why the WMBA program is the right fit for you.
When will I hear my admission decision?
The WMBA applications are reviewed on a rolling admissions process. This means the admissions committee begins reviewing applications as they are completed. The committee does not wait until a deadline to start reviewing applications. Applications are reviewed in the order they are completed. All portions of the application must be complete prior to the admissions committee review. Once an application is complete, it takes an average of six to eight weeks to hear a final decision which includes the interview process. After an application is reviewed, the committee will determine if the applicant will receive an interview invitation. While not every applicant will be invited to interview, all admitted students will have completed an interview as part of the admissions process. If you are interviewed, you can generally expect to receive your final admissions decision within two to three weeks of your interview date.
