Lauder Institute - Admissions

Admissions

The Lauder MBA/MA program shares a joint application with the Wharton School’s MBA program. Applications are reviewed in their entirety by both the Lauder and Wharton Admissions Committees. To gain admission into the Lauder program, students must be admitted to both programs, independently. The admissions process at Wharton is highly selective; it is one of the most competitive business schools in the world. A high GPA, high GMAT score, and very strong non-quantitative credentials are typically required for admission. The Lauder community is composed of people devoted to international studies. Most students entering the program have previous experience working, studying, or living outside the boundaries of their home countries. Approximately one third of the students are non-US nationals. On average, the Lauder Institute receives hundreds of applications for a class size of approximately 50-60 students.
