Early Advantage MBA

Crummer evaluates the whole candidate. The ideal EAMBA applicant brings academic readiness, motivation, clear goals, and a willingness to contribute to a collaborative graduate business environment.

• Bachelor’s Degree — A completed undergraduate degree from an accredited institution.
• Academic Readiness — A strong academic record and evidence that you can succeed in rigorous graduate coursework.
• Professional Direction — A clear sense of why you want an MBA and how the degree will support your goals.
• Collaborative Mindset — Readiness to contribute to class discussion, team projects, and cohort-based learning.
• Leadership Potential — Evidence of initiative, growth, service, work ethic, or impact through academic, professional, athletic, volunteer, or community experiences.

We’ve created a convenient list of required items you’ll need to complete your Early Advantage MBA application. If you don’t have everything on the list, you can still get started.

Notes

• No application fee is required.
• No GMAT, GRE, or standardized test score is required.
• Unofficial transcripts can be uploaded to the application until official transcripts are received.

Transcripts

Applicants should arrange to have all official sealed transcripts of academic records sent directly from each undergraduate, graduate, and professional school attended where 15 or more college credits were earned.

If you are still enrolled in a degree-seeking program, you may send your official, incomplete degree-in-progress transcript to receive an admission decision. If admitted, you will need to submit a final transcript showing the degree has been awarded.

Send your official sealed transcripts by mail to:

Rollins College – Crummer Graduate School of Business
Director of Admission
1000 Holt Avenue – 2722
Winter Park, Florida 32789

Official transcripts may also be sent electronically directly from your school’s registrar/student records to MBA Admissions at graduate-business@rollins.edu.

Transcript Evaluation: A course-by-course transcript evaluation, not a translation, is required if your undergraduate or master’s degree was awarded by a school outside of the United States. An evaluation can be obtained from a NACES-approved organization, such as Educational Perspectives, World Education Services, or Josef Silny & Associates Inc. 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.

Test Scores

If you completed your degree program outside of the U.S. where the language of instruction was not English, you are required to submit an official TOEFL iBT or IELTS score report. If you completed a degree program outside of the U.S. where English was the only medium of instruction, this requirement may be waived. Please contact us for more details.

Minimum accepted scores:

• TOEFL iBT: 90
• IELTS: 6.5
• DET: 120

Statement of Purpose

Please write a detailed and carefully edited statement indicating your reasons for pursuing a graduate business degree, your reasons for choosing Crummer, and how these two decisions will combine to assure your professional and personal success. You should incorporate details of your academic and professional background, your strengths and challenges, and any unique aspects of your candidacy you want the Admissions Committee to consider. The suggested length is between 500 and 1,000 words.

Recommendations

Letters of recommendation are requested and submitted through the application website. One confidential recommendation is required, and two are preferred. Please identify professional and/or academic supporters who know you and can appraise your ability to pursue a graduate degree in this area. Recommendation letters are confidential and will be received electronically via the online application.

Résumé

Your résumé outlines your career progression and highlights significant accomplishments and will be uploaded via the application website.

Application Fee

There is no application fee required. Crummer Graduate School of Business will no longer charge a fee to submit an application to any of our programs. We want to encourage all potential students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, to accomplish their educational goals.

If you completed your degree program outside of the U.S., you will need the following additional items:

• Official transcript evaluation completed by a NACES-approved organization.
• TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test if the main language of instruction was not English.
