The Ivey Business School at Western University has a structured timeline for MBA applications. Here are the general deadlines:
1. Round 1: September – This round is perfect if you want to get a head start and secure your admission early. It also gives you more time to prepare for the transition to business school.
2. Round 2: January – A mid-cycle deadline allowing you more time to refine your application and possibly improve your GMAT/GRE scores.
3. Round 3: April – The final deadline for the fall intake. Applying by this round ensures you are still considered, but it might be more competitive.
It’s highly recommended to apply as early as possible. Early applications often have a better chance of receiving scholarships and getting a spot in the class. Start by collecting all necessary documents, such as academic transcripts, recommendation letters, and a polished resume. Additionally, focus on writing strong personal essays that articulate your motivation for pursuing an MBA and your long-term career objectives.
