Application Deadlines

Important Information about Deadlines:

  • Applications are evaluated by the same criteria regardless of the deadline met.
  • We recommend that you apply when you feel your application is at its strongest. 
  • Please note that Stern at NYUAD MBA Admissions reviews applications on an ongoing basis, and does not wait for a deadline to pass in order to review applications. For this reason, we encourage you to submit your application between deadlines if it is ready.
