An application will not be reviewed until it is complete. At the end of the application cycle, all incomplete files will be sent a deny letter.
In addition to the Online Application, applicants must complete the following:
Checks and money orders should be made payable to Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Do not send cash. This can also be paid online via a credit card.
The application fee is waived for all military and veteran applicants. If you fall into this category, please e-mail Tishawn Hatchett at tishawnb@business.rutgers.edu prior to submitting your application and send her a copy of your DD 214 form or a copy of your military ID card. Do NOT include your social security number when e-mailing the form. Please block it out prior to sending.
To expedite the review process, applicants should upload unofficial transcripts to the online application or via email to the admission office. Upon being accepted and committing to the program, applicants must mail in an official transcript for each undergraduate and graduate institution attended.
For Rutgers graduates, please note that even though you are applying to Rutgers as an alumnus, you still need to contact the Registrar's office and request your official transcript be mailed to our office upon admission to the program.
Applicants holding international transcripts do not need to have their transcripts evaluated unless advised by the Rutgers Business School Admissions Committee. For more information on this, or if you are a domestic applicant holding international transcripts, please refer to our international instructions.
Test Required: Applicants to the MD/MBA, JD/MBA, MPH/MBA, or any other dual-degree program must submit a test score. The PharmD/MBA program, which enrolls current Rutgers students only, is test optional.
Domestic Test Optional: You may apply without a test score if you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, with a GPA of 3.0 or better in the most recent degree and three (3) years of professional, progressive work experience.
International Test Waiver: You may request a test waiver if you are an international student with a GPA of 3.00 or better in the most recent degree and three (3) years of professional, progressive work experience. Waivers are highly selective and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
International transcripts without a GPA must be evaluated by a NACES member ( https://www.naces.org/ ) such as WES.
Please be aware that receiving a GMAT or GRE test waiver or exemption does not guarantee acceptance into the Full-Time MBA program.
Supplying a GMAT or GRE score may benefit you in the admission process or qualify you for a larger scholarship if accepted.
Please consider thoughtfully the benefits of taking the GMAT or GRE exam and contact us for more information.

You must submit the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, or Duolingo test if English is not the official language in your country.

This requirement can be waived for applicants who have obtained an undergraduate or graduate degree in the U.S. or another English-only speaking country (England, Australia, etc.). This requirement can also be waived if you have three (3) or more years of full-time work experience in the United States.
Letters of recommendation can either be submitted through the online application or they can be mailed to our office directly by the recommender on company letterhead.
This can be done through the online application.

Additional requirements apply to international applicants.
All incoming students entering the Full-Time MBA program are expected to be competent in calculus and statistics. During orientation, all students are required to attend the calculus and statistics workshops to prepare them for the program. A test will be given at the conclusion of the workshops.
