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. If you are admitted and decide to enroll at Olin, you’ll be required to submit your official results. Most application components, including recommendations and application fee, can be submitted electronically.
Apply Online

Submit the following to complete your application:
  • An Olin application – forms, essays and a résumé submitted online. Olin is transitioning to a new online application system. The new system will be available in mid- September.
  • 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 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 fax: 314-935-6309 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 – 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. For TOEFL registration materials, contact the Educational Testing Service (ETS) at www.toefl.org or e-mail toefl@ets.org. The TOEFL institution code for Washington University in St. Louis is 6929. The TOEFL is not required for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.
  • Recommendations – Provide us with the names and contact information for two individuals whom we can contact for recommendations.
  • Application Fee. The application fee is $100. Checks must be in U.S. currency only, drawn off a U.S. bank and made payable to Washington University. Personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks and traveler's checks are acceptable.
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.

Eligibility
What does it take to be admitted to Olin's MS/SCM Program?
We review each applicant on a number of factors, looking for individuals with strong academic, professional and extracurricular activities. We base our selections on your past performance, quantitative skills and communication skills. To ensure diversity in each entering class, we admit students with various backgrounds, experiences, talents and interests.

If you are applying from another college or university, you must have completed an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution (comparable to Washington University's four-year bachelor's degree) by the time you would begin the MS/SCM program. Washington University undergraduate students wishing to enroll in the MSSCM program on a four-semester basis must have completed at least 90 total hours of course credit prior to beginning the MSSCM curriculum.
