I came to the Full-time MBA at Smith School of Business because ...

I was intrigued by the team-based concept, reputation, curriculum, class size, faculty expertise, career coaching and program duration. The program statistics and “No application fees” offer felt too good to be true. The seamless application process and level of professionalism displayed by the application advisors were nothing like I had imagined. They were welcoming, friendly and ready to respond to queries. Oh! And when I thought I had seen it all, the program staff and professors overwhelmed me with their welcoming attitude and willingness to help. They make this place feel like home.

Knowing what I know now, I would apply early in the application process. Specific to international student applicants, additional months will allow adequate time to secure your study permit and plan your stay. The program is worth the investment. The faculty and program staff care more about your personal and professional development than you could imagine.
