MBA Application Deadlines for 2022-2023
It’s that time of year! Top business schools are starting to release their MBA application deadlines and essay questions for the 2022-2023 application cycle. If you are applying in Round 1, now is the time to pick your first school and start drafting essays.
Remember, when you apply matters. Early action programs tend to have higher acceptance rates but are typically binding commitments. Round 1 is the optimal round for most applicants, especially those with 4+ years of work experience or who are applying from an over-represented background like consulting.
But at the end of the day, the most important factor is what you submit. So, weigh the factors but don’t sacrifice quality for speed (see our longer article on Round 1 vs. Round 2 if you’re on the fence). Please note that we did not include Round 3 deadlines below as they are not ideal for most applicants.
Here are the MBA application deadlines that have been announced as of June 15, 2022 (rows that are left blank indicate the school has not yet announced deadlines for 2022-2023).
