Submitting and Completing Your BU Questrom School of Business Application

Before Submitting

Before you submit your application, be aware of the following:

  • You can make limited changes after you submit your application. You can add new items to certain areas of the Academic History, Supporting Information, and Program Materials sections (e.g., test scores, experiences, optional documents, etc.), where applicable, but you cannot edit existing entries. You can also update recommendations with "new" or "in-progress" statuses and select additional programs to apply to. All other sections are read-only.
  • You can submit your application before your recommendations are received (if applicable).
  • Do not wait until the last minute. You can submit your application up until 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date; however, ensure you allow for time to complete the required payment section. You must click Submit and complete the final payment information before the deadline in order to guarantee your submission is accepted. Additionally, be aware that during our busiest times you may experience page loading delays, and these may occur outside of customer service's hours of operation. We cannot grant deadline extensions if you miss your deadline; contact your programs directly for more information.

Invitation Codes

Some programs provide invitation codes, which are deadline extensions offered to individual applicants. If you received an invitation code from a program, use the information below to apply to a program whose deadline has already passed.

You can apply your invitation code(s) when you select a program (review the Selecting BU Questrom School of Business Programs section) or are ready to submit your application (steps below). Note that you must use the invitation code before the expiration date (i.e., new deadline date).

Submitting to a Program
  1. Click the Submit Application tab at the top of the application.
  2. Click the Enter Invitation Code link for the closed program.
  3. Enter the invitation code you received from the program.
  4. Click Submit. To submit to multiple programs, click Submit All.

Submitting Your Payment

When you are ready to submit your application, go to the Submit Application tab and click Submit. Payments can only be made in the application via a credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Credit card payments cannot be made over the phone.

Once you submit your application and payment, click View Payment History for each program on the Submit Application page to confirm your payment's receipt.

After Submitting

You'll receive a confirmation email acknowledging that your application was submitted. Note that submitting does not mean your application is complete. Your program(s) will contact you directly regarding your application status, including if additional materials are required to complete your application.
