Every student is expected to have an aptitude for critical thinking, analytical and computing work. Beyond that, each student will be selected based on leadership in one specific skill set, either quantitative analysis, computing, business experience or organizational effectiveness.

The Admissions Committee evaluates your academic potential, professional promise and personal qualities. These factors are not listed in order of importance, and we look at each candidate individually.

We have alumni from many different backgrounds in the program, including accounting, business, economics, the liberal arts and more. We seek students who are passionate about analytics via academics, professional engagements and/or volunteerism. 

We aim to assemble a class of students who will bring diverse perspectives to the learning environment.

Admissions Process

Step 1 - Submit an Application

To complete your application, you'll need the materials listed below.

  • Application - Apply Today
  • Résumé
  • Two recommendations
  • Two required essays and one optional essay
  • Transcripts (unofficial for admission, official for enrollment)
  • GMAT or GRE General Test
  • TOEFL / IELTS (For international, non-native English speaking applicants)
  • $125 application fee

Step 2 - Spark Hire Screening Interview

All candidates will receive an invitation for a one-way video interview through our Spark Hire platform. This brief, one-way recorded interview will give us a chance to get to know you better.

Step 3 - Interview with Admissions (by invitation only)

After an initial application review, selected candidates will be invited to respond via a digital interview platform, where applicants will record themselves answering pre-determined questions and then submit for the Admissions Committee review. Following this, candidates may receive an invitation to a live virtual Zoom interview with the Admissions Committee. This is a positive indicator of our interest in you but does not guarantee admission.

Step 4 - Receive a Decision

When a decision is available you will receive a decision notification email.
