Rollins College is now offering two start options for the Early Advantage MBA. Both options include full and partial tuition scholarships, a global study trip and four full-time semesters of coursework. We are currently accepting applications for the August 2011 and January 2012 entering classes.

Admission to the Rollins Early Advantage MBA (EAMBA) Program is selective and based upon an evaluation of all application materials submitted by the candidate. Previous academic records, score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), prior work experience, and leadership skills are among the factors that are evaluated during the admission process. The MBA programs have different criteria and it is to your advantage to submit an application as early as possible.

Test Scores (GMAT or GRE)
All applicants are required to submit an official score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Official scores should be sent directly to the school. The GMAT/GRE requirement may be waived for applicants who have earned a graduate-level degree; however EAMBA applicants wishing to be considered for scholarship funds should submit a score on the GMAT even if they have a graduate degree.

Test preparation courses are offered through the Rollins College Management and Executive Education Center.

Interviews
Interviews are scheduled by invitation only. If the Admissions Committee determines that an interview is necessary, you will be contacted by a representative from our office. Requests for interviews cannot be considered unless all required admissions information has been received by the Crummer School. All applicants being considered for admissions are required to participate in a personal interview with the Admissions Committee. Interviews help to assess an applicant's qualifications and provide the prospective student with a more accurate perspective of the many features of the Crummer School graduate business programs. On-campus interviews are preferred, but for those who are unable to visit Crummer, the EAMBA Admissions Committee will allow phone or teleconference interviews may be scheduled.

International Students

In addition to the material above International Students may need to submit the following two items:

Official TOEFL Score
Your Official TOEFL Score is required for admission if English is not your first language. We require a 100 on the TOEFL iBT. If you have received a degree from a school where English is the primary language of instruction, the TOEFL requirement is waived. Please contact us for more details.

Transcript Evaluation 
A transcript evaluation (not translation) is required if your undergraduate degree was awarded by a school outside of the United States. An evaluation can be obtained from a NACES approved organization, including Educational Perspectives , World Education Services or Josef Silny & Associates Inc.  A "course-by-course" evaluation is sufficient for admission purposes. If you have taken graduate level courses that you want us to consider for transfer purposes, you will need to submit a "course-by-course" evaluation. If you choose to have your transcript evaluated by Josef Silny you must also request an official cumulative grade point average report at an additional cost.
