Recommended Deadline for Binghamton MBA Nov. 15
The recommended admissions deadline for the Binghamton University School of Management MBA program beginning in the spring is Nov. 15. Although the Binghamton admissions runs on a rolling basis, the admissions office recommends that students apply by Nov. 15 to ensure enough time to process applications and supporting documents before the beginning of term in the spring. The spring program is delivered on a part-time basis only.
To be considered for admission to the MBA program at Binghamton, prospective students must hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a nationally or regionally accredited college or university and have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher. To apply for admission, applicants must first complete the online application form. Applicants must also provide the admissions office with official undergraduate and (if applicable) graduate transcripts. The application process also requires applicants to submit a personal statement, which outlines why you are a good fit for Binghamton, as well as a copy of your current resume, two letters of recommendation and official GMAT scores.
Choosing Between the GRE and GMAT
GRE and GMAT: Which One to Take?
As you begin to explore an MBA education, the question of whether to take the GRE or GMAT may soon arise. While the GMAT has traditionally been the test that MBA applicants take, more and more top graduate business programs are starting to accept the GRE as well. Ultimately, accepting both tests gives the schools a larger pool of applicants, allowing them to be more selective in terms of which students they accept into their programs.

NYU Stern’s Director of MBA Admissions Shares Tips for Candidates on the Waitlist
Rabia Ahmed, who serves as the director of MBA admissions for NYU Stern, recently sat down with www.topmba.com, in order to share her top insights and tips for candidates who find themselves on the waitlist for 2014.
1. Be self-aware
The MBA admissions committee has seen strengths in your application, but there may be ways to improve your candidacy. We are looking for people who have the personal initiative to improve themselves. We provide detailed information about what we evaluate and why on our website. We are looking for the kind of person who can take that information, do a self-assessment and take appropriate action.
2. Be proactive
Provide us with updates to your application. New information about employment, updated test scores, as well as supplemental recommendation letters or essays can all potentially enhance your qualifications. New information is most effective when it provides a different or updated perspective to the committee.
3. Be appropriate
Each school has different policies for how to interact while on the waitlist. At NYU Stern, we are open to communication and welcome updates, but not all schools are. We want to know that you continue to remain interested in our program, but we don’t need daily or weekly updates.
4. Be considerate
to your fellow applicants on the waitlist. If you have made other plans, graciously give up your spot for others.
5. Be encouraged
The NYU Stern committee feels that your application has some real strengths and therefore has offered you a place on the MBA waitlist. At the same time, please understand that we do have many more qualified applicants than spots, so if things don’t go your way, take heart and consider reapplying next year.
