If an applicant attended a college or university where English was not the exclusive language of instruction, they must also submit evidence of English language proficiency. Stanford GSB accepts the TOEFL, the IETLS, and the PTE.

When to Submit

stanford mba deadlinesThe Stanford GSB admissions committee encourages applicants to submit during Round 1 or Round 2 (with the caveat that candidates should submit a polished application rather than rushing). The committee lists a number of advantages for applying in the first two MBA deadline rounds, including:

  • allowing ample time for visa processing for international students
  • having time to complete additional pre-matriculation coursework recommended by the admissions committee
  • getting access to on-campus housing via the school’s lottery, and
  • being able to attend a Welcome Weekend (as there is no event for Round 3 admits).

The admissions committee strongly encourages partnered applicants to apply in the same round.

When Does Stanford Issue MBA Interview Invitations?

Stanford GSB conducts MBA interviews by invitation only. The admissions committee does not publish a date by which candidates can expect an invitation. They do, however, share some information on when interviews will be conducted.

  • Round 1: late September to late November
  • Round 2: mid-January to mid-March
  • Round 3: late April to mid-May

We can also make some inferences about invitation timing based on user posts to our MBA Livewire tool. Looking at Stanford interview invitation reports from the past two admissions season, the first reports of Round 1 invitations fall squarely in the middle of October, with the last reports coming in early December. Meanwhile, the earliest Round 2 interview invitation reports come through LiveWire in early February and continue into mid-to-late March.
