Information for Consortium Applicants
The Tepper Business School at Carnegie Mellon is a member of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), an alliance of leading American business schools and some of our country's top corporations. The mission of the CGSM is to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both the member schools' enrollments and the ranks of management.
Candidates who apply through the CGSM and are admitted to Carnegie Mellon are eligible to compete for a full-tuition fellowship. There are two deadlines to apply through the Consortium: November 15th and January 5th. For more information, please contact the Consortium at:

Information for Re-Applicants
If you have submitted an application for the Tepper MBA program within the last year, you do not need to submit an entirely new application. Please email Dana Lovas to notify us that you wish to reactivate your application. Please include “Reactivate MBA Application” in the subject line of your email.
Once your reactivation request has been processed, you will receive instructions to log into the Tepper MBA application system to update your profile and to upload and submit the following required documents:
- A cover letter addressed to the MBA Admissions Committee outlining the significant changes in your professional and academic credentials since your previous application
- An updated resume
You may also, at this time, upload and submit the following optional updated materials:
- Updated essays
- Official transcripts for any coursework taken since your last application
- Official GMAT or GRE scores for any tests taken since your last application
- Official TOEFL or IELTS scores for any tests taken since your last application
Please note that you will not need to submit an application fee when reactivating an application submitted within the past year.
Information for Admitted Students
Transcripts: Admitted candidates will be required to submit one official transcript from each college or university attended, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, whether or not the candidate has earned a degree. Collect the transcripts in envelopes and have them sealed and signed across the seal by the registrar's office, and then forward them to the MBA Admissions Office. If your college or university will not give official copies of transcripts directly to students, then request that they send them (in sealed envelopes) directly to the MBA Admissions Office. Note: All international transcripts must also include a degree certification sheet, indicating name, degree earned, and the date the degree was completed.
International Student Forms: If you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S., you must submit the Graduate Student Financial Statement and supporting documents which are available to download from our website. Although financial documents are not required to render an admissions decision, they are necessary for immigration purposes should you be offered admission.
Credential Verification: We are committed to ensuring the integrity of our admissions process and the reputation of our educational programs. We also want to protect and enhance the value of the degrees that we confer on our students. To guard against any allegations that candidates may have misrepresented themselves in their admissions applications, we have made the decision to establish an independent verification of application credentials for all of our master’s students. We believe that this verification process will support our efforts to ensure integrity throughout the program. Candidates will receive more information on this process upon admission.
