Important dates and deadlines

Deadline Extension - Over the last few months we’ve been speaking to prospective MBA candidates from around the world about our re-imagined MBA program and have been excited by the response. To respond to this increased interest we have decided to extend our deadline to May 31st 2012. So if you were working on your application or thinking about starting an application, you now have additional time to apply for entrance to our full time MBA class that begins in August 2012.

Provided that all your application documentation is complete, we will inform you about our admission decision within four to six weeks after each deadline. You can also check your application status online for any updates.

Full-time UBC MBA admission process

1.  Submit your application

Please submit your application and all supporting documents before the application deadline.  Only when we receive it all, is your file considered "complete" and will be sent to the admissions committee for review. All submitted application materials, including irreplaceable documents, become the property of the Sauder School of Business and will not be returned.

2. You are screened by the Admissions Committee

The Admissions Committee carefully evaluates your entire profile as presented through academic records, Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores, full-time work experience, essays and letters of recommendation.  Each application is assessed independently from other applications.

3. Admission interviews are held

All candidates being seriously considered for admission are interviewed.  Interviews take place in person or by Skype or phone. The MBA Programs Office will contact you directly if you are selected for an interview.

4. Your offer of admission

Upon receipt of an offer of admission, you must submit a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit in Canadian currency. This deposit will be credited towards your tuition.

Deferred admission    

Students accepted into the UBC MBA program are not permitted to defer admission.
