The Ohio State Fisher MBA Deadlines 2024-2025
The Ohio State Fisher MBA deadlines for the 2024-2025 admissions season are presented in the table below.
The Ohio State Fisher College of Business is conducting its MBA application review process over the course of five rounds.
| Round | Application Deadline | Admissions Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Early | October 13, 2024 | November 15, 2024 |
| Round 1 | December 1, 2024 | January 17, 2025 |
| Round 2 | January 5, 2025 | March 7, 2025 |
| Round 3 | February 23, 2025 | April 11, 2025 |
| Final Round | April 25, 2025 | May 30, 2025 |
Candidates applying during the Early round are able to participate in Fall Preview Days, which are on-campus or virtual events typically offered in October and November. Students get a campus tour, connect with current students, meet career management and admissions, and have an opportunity to do a live interview. While scholarships are available in every round, the adcom does recommend that those looking to be considered for Ohio State Fellowship eligibility apply by Round 1. Round 3 is the recommended final deadline for international applicants.
What Do I Need to Submit by the Deadline?
A complete MBA application to Fisher comprises:
- Application data form
- Unofficial transcripts for all degree-related coursework (four-year bachelor’s degree or equivalent required)
- GMAT or GRE score, unless the candidate has secured a test waiver
- A one-page resume (and/or LinkedIn url)
- Two reference contacts
- Essay response
- Video interview
- Application fee: $60 domestic, $70 international
Applicants who completed their undergraduate degrees at non-English-speaking institution are asked to have their records translated, and to submit the translation to the admissions office along with an official transcript.
Applicants may choose to either list their references or have Fisher admissions send an OPTIONAL electronic letter of recommendation request to each recommender. The adcom may contact the references during the admissions process. Requesting a recommendation is optional. The video interview does not take the place of the live interview. Once an application is started, applicants will receive an email invitation to complete the video interview. Although the school suggests completing the video interview within 2 weeks, the link will not expire. Via the Kira Talent platform, the video interview should only take 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Live Interview
Live interviews are conducted on an invitation-only basis and are required to matriculate. The adcom conducts interviews in-person (recommended for domestic applicants) or online via Skype.
MBA Applywire
Geography: Grew up in New York and am hoping to stay in New York post-MBA.
Education: Graduated with a double major from a top 20 undergrad.
Work Experience: I've worked at a couple different companies with all my roles centered around using data to solve problems. None of the companies that I've worked for are nationally recognized names, but are very well known within their specific industry. Opted for the IC path at my current company, so no team management experience outside of a college internship, where I managed a small team of 4.
EC/Volunteer: I play on multiple intramural teams for a sport that I got back into the last couple years that I used to play competitively in high school. I've been volunteering for the last 4 years at a non-profit theater, but again, without any leadership roles.
Goals: I'm currently exploring options related to pivoting into the entertainment industry
Biology Undergraduate
Primary Career in Consulting
Hoping to get company sponsorship for my MBA
Stanford is my top school
22 yr old, recently graduated with a CS degree.
Founded a club in uni, collabed with various companies and organized events.
Intered as a PM role in 2 startups.
Started building my own startup in the final year, raised 40k$ capital and now would like to pivot into building other big stuff of work as a PM in a big company where I can build products that can actually bring some real value.
(need suggestions for schools based on my profile)
I haven't sat for the GRE yet. But I am actively preparing for it and hoping for a score of around 315-320.
My middle and high school is of STEM background. I switched to BBA because it had all the nitty gritty stuff that was needed to solve irl problems, especially the prominent ones in my country. But I lost all my enthusiasm when I found out it was lecture heavy and all you do is memorize for tests, not learn anything about actual business processes outside of theory. I easily got bored, slept in class, didn't prepare for tests and winged it. Instead I took up a freelance content writing jobs (no specific topic) and got into E-sports tournaments (always have been a fanatic for PC building, gaming and e-sports). That's why the relatively low CGPA.
However, three of my BBA courses, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management and Management Information Systems stood out. I was able to relieve my lust for analysis and problem solving and now I want back in. STEM focused MS programs like business analytics, supply chain analytics, operations management are my top choices right now.
I am currently enrolled in an MBA (Human resource management) at a public university in my country. My finals start from June 23, 2025.
Another thing is, I have funding issues. I can't pay 80k for business school. That's median yearly income for the top 1% in my country. But I don't want to enroll in schools that don't offer career/application oriented learning. So suggestions on which schools I should keep my eye on would be nice.
