APPLICATION PROCESS

We want to make the process easy for you and ask that you review and follow the online instructions carefully.

For preliminary decisions, we prefer "unofficial" copies (a scan or PDF) of test scores and transcripts. If you are admitted and decide to enroll at Olin, you'll be required to submit your official results. Most application components, including application fee, can be submitted electronically. Please do not send application or financial documents by postage mail. Documents sent by postal mail may delay application processing.

Apply Online

Submit the following to complete your application:

  • An Olin 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. A copy of all official transcripts (with degree and degree conferred date) will ultimately be required for all enrolling students.
  • Submit by electronic upload 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.

Standardized test scores
Submit by electronic upload (preferred method) into the online application or email: apply@olin.wustl.edu.

GMAT or GRE – Olin requires either the GMAT or GRE, up to five years old. The GMAT institution code for the MS/SCM is R4T-WG-16. The GRE institution code is 4929. For GMAT information or registration, go to www.mba.com.

TOEFL or IELTS (Academic Format) – Required if your native language is not English, unless 1) you have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university where the primary medium of instruction is English or 2) you have completed at least two or more years of study at a college or university in a country where the primary language 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.

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

Application Fee. The application fee is $100 and payment can be made with a credit card.

  • Personal Statement. Rather than asking you for an assorted series of short essay responses, we require that you submit one comprehensive personal statement regarding your interest in the Master of Supply Chain Management program and your personal and professional aspirations. We believe that this relatively open-ended requirement will allow you to more fully express your candidacy for our program.

If you are accepted for admission, you'll need to submit official transcripts and test scores. Request transcripts from each university or college you have attended. You must supply the original transcript even if the credit or grades are noted on another transcript. Enclose a self-addressed, postage-paid return envelope so the registrar can return the transcript to you.

Interviews
Invitation-only interviews are conducted at the discretion of the Admissions Committee after the submission of a complete application.

Information for Re-applicants
If you have previously submitted an application to the program, you should not submit a new online application. Rather, please email the Records Assistant, Dedric McCall, at dmccall@wustl.edu to receive specific re-application instructions.
