There are numerous reasons for applying early. In addition to allowing you to plan your future with foresight, we intentionally limit our incoming classes to 150 students, and classes can fill quickly. For some financial aid and fellowship awards, there are fixed deadlines that fall early in the application process. Other merit-based financial aid awards may not be linked to deadlines; however, they are awarded on a rolling basis, with early applicants clearly having an advantage.
While we process applications on a rolling admissions basis, we have recommended application deadlines. Generally, you can expect to hear a decision within eight weeks of submitting your completed application and all required supplementary materials.
After May 30th: Applications will be considered on a space available basis.
* November 15: Completed international student applications, including all required supplementary materials, must be received by this date to be considered for a university fellowship. Fisher College of Business funding may be decided after this date; however, for priority consideration, all applications should be completed and received by this date.
** December 31: Completed domestic student applications, including all required supplementary materials, must be received by this date for a University Fellowship and/or Graduate Enrichment Fellowship. Fisher College of Business funding may be decided after this date; however, for priority consideration, all applications should be completed and received by this date.

At the core of our mission is our dedication to developing leaders. Successful leaders have a number of shared characteristics, and we would like you to choose two out of the 10 attributes that best describe you, your leadership style, and/or your leadership successes to date:
Creativity
Communication Skills
Curiosity
Empathy
Endurance
|
|
Global Outlook
Integrity
Passion
Self Awareness
Vision
|
Please provide us with clear evidence of your accomplishments for the two chosen attributes. You have three options for doing so:
Option 1: You may submit physical objects, images, photographs, or photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how these objects exemplify the leadership qualities you selected. For example, to illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of your marathon medal, along with a short paragraph describing this experience.
Option 2: You may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership traits.
Option 3: You may combine options 1 and 2.
Please note that Fisher College will not be responsible for returning physical objects to applicants. (500-word limit)
