We bill the $71,000 Evening MBA tuition in eight installments during the program; these payments actually span three calendar years (program is 24 months, though). I am going to send you the payment schedule.

Regarding your specific question about grades: We are very used to working with companies and students on tuition reimbursement; we know that many companies will not reimburse you until you have grades. I have requested a specific answer on grades and will post that shortly.

Here’s some additional information: You will receive a grade report upon completion of each class. This will contain your grade and the number of credit hours for the course and will either be placed in your file folder or mailed to you. On average, grades are reported 3 weeks after the final exam/project date which is at the instructor’s discretion. You can see a basic calendar of classes here:

Yes, you are certainly able to apply for both the Evening MBA and the Daytime MBA Programs beginning in August 2010. However, you would need to submit two separate applications, as the information we require is slightly different in each program. The first application deadline for the Evening MBA Class of 2012, which begins in August 2010, is usually in late January. We do, however, take early applications and will turnaround a decision in about 4 weeks. So, if you want to apply early , you can. Please feel free to call me with any questions: 919.962.2499.

I was unable to secure a spot in the 2009 UNC Fulltime MBA program due to an extremely competitive pool and being waitlisted in the 1st round. I am planning to reapply this year. Having 13+ years of industry experience, would I be able to apply to both the EMBA evening and the Fulltime MBA program? I’m still unable to decide. I work from home and schedule wise, either would work for me.

I completely understand your concern. While it’s always best to apply earlier rather than later, it’s equally as important to submit the best application possible. If for you, completing the the review course prior to taking the GMAT helps your application, I agree it’s the best course of action. We always keep spots available at each deadline, so you still have a solid opportunity for admittance. It’s just that the final deadline is slightly more competitive because fewer spots are still available. That being said, I think you are making the right decision.

I’m happy to speak further with you about your application, if you wish to do so: 919-949-1190.

I am taking the Manhattan GMAT course and will be taking the test in September. Will I be at a big disadvantage applying for the third round of the Weekend Program? The website recommended appling in the earlier rounds but as an older student I feel I needed the Manhattan course to perform well on the GMAT. Do you think it’s best to wait an apply in the first round next year or go ahead and apply for the third round?

Thanks.
