How the Online Application Works

When an account is created, applicants are able to work on their application components as time permits. Simply add to your application as items are completed and the system will retain all information (which can be edited as needed before the final submission). Whether you take just a few days, weeks or longer, you are able to work on your application until all areas are completed. When you are ready, simply submit your application for review. You'll hear from the admissions team in approximately three to four weeks.

Submitting Your Application  

The application is your opportunity to present yourself to the admissions committee and to tell your story. Please take your time, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your application is complete before you finalize your submission. All applications must be submitted using the .

A Complete Application Includes the Following Items:

Transcripts

Upload an unofficial transcript from each collegiate institution you have attended into the online application form. This includes community colleges, study abroad, summer sessions, and extension programs regardless of the length of attendance, whether or not courses were completed and whether or not you believe the record will affect your admission. These unofficial transcripts must include all courses and grades, must be issued in the original language and be accompanied by certified English translations when applicable. If you are offered admission, one official transcript for each university attended will be required prior to your enrollment in the first term.

Official US/domestic transcripts must be sent electronically, directly from the institution, to us to be considered official. When you order your transcripts, send them directly to Gradprocessing@colorado.edu and we will match them to your application. Transcripts uploaded by you (the applicant) will not be considered official.

Test Scores

Submitting a GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment Score is not required for the Executive MBA. If you have taken an exam and you would like to add it to your application, you may report your score in the application portal and submit the official scores from the testing agency.

GMAT code: 11S-Z2-29
GRE code: 4841 
Executive Assessment: Choose Leeds School of Business

Recommendations

Your application must include a letter of recommendation but you can submit two. One of your recommendations should be from a current or past supervisor who can speak to your work ethic, character, leadership skills and ability to work in teams. The other may be from a person with whom you have a professional relationship (i.e. co-worker, colleague, client, vendor, etc.) and can elaborate on your personal qualities, interpersonal skills, and professional accomplishments. Recommendations are submitted online directly by the recommenders. 

Essays

In an essay no longer than 750 words, address the following questions:

• What are your career aspirations, professional development goals, and passions?
• How will your background, values, academics and leadership skills enhance the experiences of your fellow Executive MBA students during your studies?
• Why is Leeds your choice?

Resume

Applicants are required to submit a copy of their current resume or Vita. Word, RTF or PDF files only.

Applicant Interview

The interview is the final and most insightful piece of the Executive MBA application process. A holistic review is quintessential for our program in molding the strongest and most diverse cohorts of leaders. The interview allows the committee to dive deeper into the applicant’s business acumen, goals, and aspirations in this program. The interview is conducted with either the Director or one of the Associate Directors of admission via Zoom.
