November 6, 2021Round 2 deadlines for the top MBA programs
Now that it’s November, we thought it would be helpful to have a list of Round 2 and January admissions deadlines for the top programs. Most of the schools on this list have three rounds, one in the fall, one in winter, and one in spring. A few schools on this list, like Duke, have a second round in late fall, making their January deadline “Round 3.” Whether this will affect your admissions chances will vary from school to school, but most admissions experts say that Round 1 and Round 2 are the best times to apply.
So for those who didn’t have a chance to submit their applications in time for Round 1, below are the Round 2 admissions deadlines for the top MBA programs.
