How to Apply to the Texas MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth
The deadlines above are to encourage early applications- please do not wait for a specific deadline to apply- if you are ready, go ahead and submit. The Texas MBA for Working Professionals employs a rolling admissions process - meaning all applications are generally reviewed in chronological order according to the date they were completed, and are not grouped into periods or "rounds."
Admission to the MBA Program at the McCombs School of Business is highly competitive. The admissions committee reviews applications on an individual basis looking at both quantitative and qualitative aspects of an applicant's professional and academic background. The committee seeks to assess an individual's potential for leadership, academic success and future professional growth.
The Texas MBA admissions committee carefully considers each completed application, with particular attention to personal essays, work history, post-MBA goals, undergraduate performance, letters of recommendation, extracurricular and community activities, honors and achievements, and test scores. All of these components are considered holistically; no specific weight is assigned to any criterion and no formulas are used.
