Admissions at the Johnson School

The Johnson School environment is intense, entrepreneurial, challenging, and collaborative. Admission to our programs is highly selective; we look for prospective students who are not only intelligent and highly professional but who can bring a fresh perspective and energy to their interactions with faculty and peers. In addition to a clear record of academic and professional achievement, we value independent thinking, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. Leadership ability can be demonstrated in many ways, but a pattern of taking initiative and adding value beyond a job description can set you apart from the rest.
