Cambridge University’s Judge Business School has just announced its admissions schedule for the 2007-2008 season. Unlike most MBA programs, which employ a staged (or round-based) model of processing applications, Cambridge follows a rolling admissions model. Here’s what the Judge admissions process looks like:
Applications Accepted: beginning October 1, 2007
Interview Decision: within 8 weeks
Admission Decision: within 2 days of interview
Application Deadline: May 2, 2008
The school gives applicants a very wide 7 month window during which they can submit their materials, but, as is the case with any school with rolling admissions, it’s best to apply early in the season to maximize one’s chances of acceptance (and avoid any visa issues).
As for the specifics, Cambridge poses only two essay questions – each with a 400 word limit – making this one of the shortest MBA application.
1. Describe a work project or task that you found difficult or which did not go well. What would you have done differently in retrospect?
2. How would you like to be remembered?
