Admissions Requirements

Students must apply separately to, and be accepted by, both the School of Law and the School of Management. Ordinarily, students apply to the School of Management before or during their first year at the School of Law, and begin the M.B.A. part time during their second year of law school.

For M.B.A. admissions:

• GSM (Graduate School of Management) application ( http://management.bu.edu/apply)
• An official score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) from the past 5 years (the LSAT will NOT be accepted in lieu of the GMAT)
• Two letters of recommendation
• All four required essays
• Official copies of all university-level transcripts (undergraduate and graduate)
• Current resume

Although work experience is not a requirement of admissions, candidates with little or no work experience should be stronger in other admissions criteria, such as GPA and GMAT..

Application deadlines for GSM: November 15th, January 15th, March 15th (If an application is complete by a deadline, the admission decision is guaranteed to be mailed within four weeks)
