The Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley seeks qualified and diverse future business leaders for its full-time MBA program.

Each fall, the program admits roughly 275 students. Candidates are sought who have professional experience and potential as leaders. These students will come from a wide variety of academic and personal backgrounds. Students are not admitted based on any predefined standards, but instead based on their best fit within the program.

The majority of successful applicants to the program have at least two or more years of full-time work experience following an undergraduate degree. UC Berkeley’s admissions team is particularly interested in the progression and milestones of individuals’ specific careers, as well as individual supervisor assessments.

The team will also examine each candidate’s academic performance. Students must hold a four-year bachelor’s degree or the US equivalent. Students may not have already received an MBA or comparable degree. Students’ coursework, rigor, GPA, and academic competitiveness will also be considered. Successful candidates will have a GPA of a 3.0 or better. Coursework must have been completed in college-level mathematics and statistics due to the qualitative nature of Haas coursework. GMAT, GRE, and TOEFL scores (if required) will also be considered.

Students should also submit a nonrefundable application fee of $200, along with official college transcripts, resumes, GRE and GMAT scores reports, and degree certificates from other institutions if the student’s native language is not English. Applicants may submit unofficial, scanned or photocopied documents of necessary items in the beginning stages of the review process. However, if students are invited to interview, they must provide official copies.

Naturally, personal qualities that best address the school’s defining principles will also be considered. Successful candidates will demonstrate confidence without attitude, questioning of the status quo, “student always,” and being “beyond yourself.” Students should submit an essay and two professional letters of recommendation to help these qualities shine through the application process.

Applicants should submit all materials before April of the desired enrollment year. Questions about the application process should be directed to the UC Berkeley team at mbaadm@haas.berkeley.edu.
