MBA REQUIREMENTS

Because an MBA is a graduate degree, you can only apply if you have already completed a bachelor’s degree. Your degree can be in any area.

Applying to an MBA program is very different from many other application processes you have likely participated in during your life. In addition to taking placement tests, you have to submit a variety of information about yourself that will be used to evaluate if the school will admit you or not. The materials you will need to submit are:

·         GMAT Scores

·         For international applicants, TOEFL scores must be submitted.

·         Official Transcripts (a record of all the classes you took and grades you received while getting your undergraduate degree).

·         Translated Transcripts (for international applicants, you must also submit your transcripts in English. They must be translated by a certified translator)

·         Letters of Recommendation. Depending on the school, you will need to submit from 1 to 3 letters of recommendation. These letters are usually written by your current and/or past employers and should highlight why you are a strong applicant.

·         Essays. Each school has their own essay questions each year. You need to answer the questions, in English. You must respect the word count limit and should use the essay to highlight your strengths as an applicant.

·         Application Fee. The actual amount depends on the school, but most application fees are about US$250. Your application will not be considered until the application fee has been paid.

·         Interview. If the business school you have applied to is interested in your profile, you will likely be called for an interview. Interviews can take place on campus, via Skype, or in your hometown (if interviews are available in that location). The interviews typically take place in English, though the content and style of the interview depends greatly on the school.
