By when do I need to apply for UG and PG MBA programs at Northwestern University?
Northwestern's tentative Early Decision deadline for undergraduate applicants falls on November 1, while Regular Decision closes on January 4. For the MBA program, Round 2 applications are due on January 6. Indian students should also prepare strong academic scores, SAT or ACT results, and application materials via the Common App.
If Northwestern is on your application list, mark these tentative deadlines early, since the university runs 2 separate rounds for undergraduate applicants and a separate round system for its MBA program.
Northwestern Application Deadlines
| Course Type | Tentative Deadline |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate, Early Decision | November 1 |
| Undergraduate, Regular Decision | January 4 |
| MBA, Round 2 | January 6 |
Test Scores And Documents To Prepare
- Academic transcripts or records via WES
- Personal essay and personal statement
- Letters of recommendation
- Passport and bank statements or sponsor letter
- IELTS 7.0 overall or TOEFL-iBT 80 for Master's courses
- SAT 1510 to 1570, or ACT 34 to 35, for undergraduate applicants
- GRE around 162 combined, or GMAT 687 Focus and 733 Legacy, for MBA applicants
My Advice
Work backward from the Early Decision date if you want the best shot at undergraduate admission, since applying early often signals stronger interest. For the MBA, start your GMAT or GRE preparation well before the Round 2 deadline arrives.
