Apply For Free by December 15!
November 2, 2023 | Simon Admissions & Programs Team
If business school is among your plans for 2024, our next application deadline for our full-time MBA and MS programs is January 5. However, if you want to cross “apply to business school” off your to-do list sooner, if you apply by 11:59 p.m. EST on December 15, we’ll waive your application fee (a $90 value)!
In addition to “hitting submit” for free, applying in Round 2 will ensure that you are considered for top scholarships. While scholarships are available in every round, applying early increases your chances of securing an award. You’ll also have more time to plan before starting your degree, as you’ll be offered an admission decision no later than March 31.

If you have questions as you’re working along on your application, I encourage you to register and attend our “Application Q&A with the Admissions Committee” webinar on Wednesday, December 13 from 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. Before you attend, make sure you listen to our “Application Tips from the Admissions Committee” webinar recording, as many frequently asked questions are answered there as well!
We wish you all the best as you work on your application!
P.S. If you’re interested in a business program for working professionals, keep in mind that you can currently apply for free by December 1 to begin our Professional MBA program in January 2024.
