WashU Olin MBA Deadlines 2025-2026

The St. Louis Olin Business School of Washington University has released the 2025-2026 MBA deadlines for applicants targeting the Class of 2028.

All applications are due by 11:59PM Central Time on the deadline date. Admissions are rolling after the Round 5 deadline.

Required Materials

The completed online application must include unofficial copies of all academic transcripts and self- reported GMAT or GRE scores (optional), with official score reports sent directly to the university. Applicants are also required to submit a current, one-page professional resume and the essay(s). There is no application fee and, while applicants will provide contact information for one recommender, a recommendation is not required either.

Applicants may choose to submit an application without a standardized test score. The adcom notes that they will consider the following in lieu of a test score:

• They have a strong undergraduate GPA from a US institution.
• They have demonstrated quantitative skills in prior academic coursework and/or professional experience.
• They have earned an advanced or terminal degree (JD, MD, PhD or quantitative MS degree).
• They have earned a quantitatively oriented professional certificate (CPA, CFA).
• They hold (or have held) an officer’s rank in the military.
• Performance on an expired GMAT or GRE.

International applicants whose native language is not English must submit TOEFL or IELTS scores. However, there are waiver conditions available based on citizenship or education.

Official transcripts and official test scores must be submitted two weeks before orientation begins.

The Interview

WashU Olin issues interview invitations. As part of the application process, applicants also complete a video interview.
