Application Deadlines

We review applications on an ongoing basis, and the deadlines below serve as a helpful guide for planning your submission. Once you have applied, our team will keep you updated on next steps and decisions. If you have any questions along the way, we’re here to help.

Important Information about Deadlines:

• Applications are evaluated by the same criteria regardless of the deadline met.
• We encourage candidates to apply as early as possible, as both admission and scholarship funding become increasingly competitive as the application cycle progresses. We also recommend that you only apply when you feel your application is at its strongest as you can only apply once per admissions cycle.
• Applications will only be reviewed once all required components are completed and submitted. Please refer to the application checklist for the list of requirements.
• Please note that Stern at NYUAD Executive MBA Admissions Committee 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.
• The application process, from application submission to final decision takes around six weeks. You should ensure you will be available for an interview, if invited, four to six weeks post-submission.
