​Full-Time MBA Admissions

​Transform your career with a truly global MBA. 

Admission to the Olin MBA Program is competitive. Each applicant is carefully considered by the Olin Admissions Committee—using both objective and subjective criteria—and there is no formula used to arrive at a decision. Rather, the Admissions Committee takes a holistic approach to candidate evaluation with specific interest in your academic ability, professional potential, leadership qualities, communication and interpersonal skills, demonstrated achievements, motivation and diversity.

We purposely maintain a relatively small class size. The consequence of this choice is that every student matters. As we craft a class, we value and seek diversity by accepting candidates with varied backgrounds, skill sets, cultures and talents.

Test Requirements

Although we recommend submitting a test score, GMAT and GRE waivers are available. Please review the waiver criteria on the Apply page.

Application Fee

There is no application fee for the Full-Time MBA Program. At Olin, our goal is to consider every candidate who has a serious interest in our school and our program regardless of ability to pay an application fee.

Transfer Credits

Olin Business School will accept up to nine credits of graduate-level coursework taken at other AACSB-accredited institutions if the grades earned are “B” or above, the Academic Review Committee judges the courses to be equivalent to Olin classes in quality and content, and the credits have not been used toward the completion of another degree. Please submit the course syllabus and transcript to your academic advisor for any classes you’d like to be considered for transfer credit. The review process takes at least two weeks to complete. Please note, no transfer credit will be awarded until after the student has completed one semester here at Olin and is in satisfactory academic standing.
