Application Policies
Re-Application
We encourage applicants who have been denied admission to the Ivey MBA Program to wait approximately one year before considering to re-apply. Re-applicants should focus on how they have improved their application and ensure their profile has substantially changed in merit. Re-applicants do not have a relative advantage, or disadvantage, compared with other candidates. For more information on our re-application process and advice, please tune into our Re-Applicant Advice Podcast.
Waitlist
Students on the waitlist will be contacted if we obtain a vacancy in the Program prior to the start of classes. Students on the waitlist are not guaranteed a spot in the Program and may be required to re-apply.
Deferral Requests
Deferrals are granted very rarely and on an individual basis. If you wish to discuss a deferral, please contact your Associate Director.
