Editor's notes

  • Plan the four written pieces together. The letter of intent and the three School of Business essays overlap on career goals and why Clark Atlanta, so give each one a different angle instead of repeating yourself. The essays set 500 words as a minimum, which leaves room for specifics.
  • Line up three recommenders early. Clark Atlanta wants two former instructors and one employer, and professors can take weeks to respond. If you've been out of school two years, you can use three supervisors instead, so pick the version that gives you the strongest letters.
  • Plan for summer. Fall full-time students start with the required MBA Launch workshop before the program begins, and fall applications close April 1, 2027. Apply early enough to arrange your finances, since the university doesn't waive the fee.
