EMBA - Admissions - Deadlines

We are now evaluating applications for the UVA Darden Executive MBA program on a rolling basis. 

Candidates applying during this rolling period can expect to receive a decision within approximately two weeks of application submission. Our final deadline to accept Executive MBA applications is 7 July, and candidates admitted during this rolling period should expect to have two to three weeks to finalize their decision.

Each round admits students to the class matriculating in August 2025, and we encourage you to apply when you feel your application is strongest. 

Deadlines

*Applicants applying during this rolling period can expect a decision within 1-2 weeks of application submission. The Admissions team will confirm your decision release date upon submission of your application.

Interviews

Qualified applicants will be invited to interview after their application has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Interviews play a critical role in our assessment of candidates and are required prior to admittance into the program. For the foreseeable future, all interviews will be conducted virtually via Zoom.
