미국 MBA 지원을 위한 마감일 발표, 지원 준비 서둘러야

미국에는 700여 개의 MBA과정이 있습니다. Harvard, Stanford, Wharton 등 Top 10 MBA는 합격률이 20%선 이내로 경쟁이 치열합니다. 우선 지원자들은 대학 성적 (GPA)과 GMAT 점수를 제시해야 하고 영어를 모국어로 하지 않는 유학생들이라면 TOEFL 점수도 제시해야 합니다. 직장 경력이 있다면 그에 대한 이력서를 작성하고, 에세이, 추천서를 함께 낸 후 인터뷰 과정을 거치는 것이 기본입니다.

최근 각 MBA 학교에서 원서 마감일과 에세이 주제 발표

각 Business School에서는 최근에 원서 마감일을 발표했습니다. 아래에서 보듯이 한 학교에서 3차례에 걸쳐 원서를 마감하게 되고 대개10월부터 다음 해 4월까지 원서를 접수합니다. Rolling Admission은 아니지만 물론 일찍 원서를 접수시키는 것이 유리합니다. 그리고 학교마다 원서 마감일이 각기 다르므로 세심한 주의를 기울여 마감일을 놓치는 실수를 범하지 말아야 합니다.
