Applicants who meet most, but not all, of the requirements for admission may be provisionally accepted as a pre-MBA student. Such an admission imposes certain academic limitations on the provisionally accepted students. This option may not be available for international applicants. International students must be fully admitted into the program to receive their I-20. In other words, international applicants must meet ALL the admission requirements when they apply.
