- Allow sufficient time to prepare for the GMAT. We are happy to counsel you based on a GMAT score to determine next steps. Sometimes, additional preparation (Math and Statistics Camp and/or our online math course) is a condition of admission.
- Math and Statistics Camp (four Saturdays starting in July) is complimentary for admitted students. We strongly encourage you to complete the application prior to June 1 so that we have ample time to determine whether the camp is right for you.
- Priority enrollment deadline is March 31—for CNM candidates and those with early GMAT scores. The regular deadline for most candidates is May 31. Rolling applications will be accepted through July 31. After July 31, applications will be considered if space is available to fill the class and round out the C-Teams or for the following year.
