ADMISSIONS

Meet our faculty, staff, students and alumni. Sit in on a class and tour the Washington University campus. See for yourself how an Olin MBA can transform your life.

Admission to the Olin MBA Program is competitive. Each applicant is carefully considered by the Olin Admissions Committee, using a holistic approach with both objective and subjective criteria. We consider your academic ability, leadership potential and experience – and how well you communicate those to us. To ensure diversity in each entering class, we admit students with varied backgrounds, talents and interests.

Application Fee
There is NO application fee. Our goal is to consider every candidate who has a serious interest, regardless of ability to pay an application fee.

Application Process
We want to make the process easy for you. So for preliminary admission decisions, we prefer “unofficial” copies (a scan, fax or PDF) of test scores and transcripts that you may easily upload in the application. If you are admitted and decide to enroll at Olin, you’ll be required to submit your official results.

Apply Online

Submit the following to complete your application:

  • An Olin MBA application – forms, essays and a résumé submitted online.
  • Academic transcripts – from all colleges or universities you’ve attended, including any graduate or professional course work. Transcripts should include all course work taken with corresponding grades and any transcript instructions/descriptions provided by the institution.

    Submit by electronic upload (preferred method) into the online application (2 MB maximum) or email to apply@olin.wustl.edu. If you are unable to submit an unofficial copy, you may submit an official copy by mail. A copy of all official transcripts (with degree and degree conferred date) will ultimately be required for all enrolling students.
  • Standardized test scores
    Submit by electronic upload (preferred method) into the online application or email to: apply@olin.wustl.edu.

    GMAT or GRE – The MBA Program requires either the GMAT or GRE. The GMAT institution code for the Olin MBA Program is R4T-WG-61. The GRE institution code is 4961. For GMAT information or registration, go to www.mba.com.

    TOEFL or IELTS (Academic Format) – Required if your native language is not English, unless you have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university where the primary medium of instruction is English. The TOEFL institution code for Washington University in St. Louis is 6929. The TOEFL or IELTS is not required for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

Letters of Recommendation
We do not require or accept letters of recommendation. Rather, we ask that you submit names and contact information for two references as part of the online application. The Admissions Committee may contact these references as part of its evaluation of your application.

Interviews
Invitation-only interviews are conducted at the discretion of the Admissions Committee after the submission of a complete application. The only exception to this rule is for candidates who are visiting campus from outside the United States. These visitors may contact Joya Shepard, MBA Admissions Coordinator, by phone at 314-935-6341 or by email at shepard@wustl.edu, to schedule an interview.

Information for Reapplicants
If you have previously submitted an application to the program, you should not submit a new online application. Rather, please email the Director of Admissions, Evan Bouffides, at bouffides@wustl.edu to receive specific reapplication instructions.
