When are the application deadlines for Stanford MBA?

Stanford MBA application deadlines for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle are spread across three rounds:

• Round 1: September 10, 2024, with decisions released by December 5, 2024.
• Round 2: January 8, 2025, with decisions released by April 3, 2025.
• Round 3: April 8, 2025, with decisions released by May 29, 2025.

It's crucial to submit all application materials, including letters of recommendation and the application fee, by 4:00 PM Pacific Time on the deadline date for the round in which you apply. Stanford does not review additional materials submitted after the deadline for that round​.

Applying in Round 1 or Round 2 can offer advantages such as more time to complete visa applications for international students and a better chance to secure on-campus housing. If you and a partner are both applying, it’s recommended to apply in the same round to synchronize decision timelines​.
