The Texas McCombs Executive MBA, MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth and MBA at Houston programs are accepting applications for Fall 2021 on a space-available basis. If you were unable to submit before the last deadline, this is a great opportunity to start in August as part of the Class of 2023 without waiting another year to begin your MBA.
Note: Spots are not guaranteed. If any classes fill, the application for that program will close.
Applying Now vs. Earlier in the Cycle
In contrast to full-time MBAs, working professional MBA classes fill up later in the cycle. Your chance for admission is the same now as if you had applied in earlier rounds. And there are many reasons to consider starting your MBA this fall:
- An MBA will provide you with the leadership and business skills to help with post-COVID organizational change.
- You’ll gain a supportive network of classmates, alumni, faculty, and staff– there are over 100,000 McCombs alumni around the world.
- Texas McCombs provides unmatched career support for working professional students.
- All applicants submitting for Fall 2021 before the application closes will receive an application fee waiver worth a $200 USD value.
Testing and Scores
All applicants should note that our testing options have changed for this cycle
- Review all our test options and accepted scores.
- Review the details of the Executive MBA test waiver, an option exclusively for Executive MBA applicants each year.
- COVID-19 Test Waiver: Due to unprecedented circumstances, we are providing all applicants who are unable to take an exam in person or online the option of a COVID-19 Test Waiver Petition.
UPDATE 6/22/21 – TEST WAIVER FOR DALLAS/FORT WORTH AND HOUSTON MBA APPLICANTS:
General Test Waiver: Although submitting a strong test score is always advised, Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston MBA applicants may submit a petition to waive the test score by using the Optional Essay within the application to share the reasons for considering your application without a score. (i.e. strong undergrad/graduate GPA, certifications, extensive work experience) Waiver petitions are considered along with the rest of your application components and reviewed holistically. The MBA Admissions Committee will view each applicants’ petition in the context of their entire application and render a decision based on the application as a whole, versus a separate decision on just the waiver.
Ready to Apply?
The best time to apply is always when you feel you are ready to start the program and have a strong application. All applicants applying to the program must be prepared to start the program in August 2021.
