MBALAUNCH ON DEMAND FAQS
- How do I make the most of the MBALaunch On Demand program?
The program is designed to help you build your best application to b-school. We recommend you dedicate time to each learning item, just like you would for an online class. Modules cover specific application components, personal and professional development, and content from alumni and students. The more time you invest, the better your experience will be. - Will I be in a community of other women?
The program is designed to be completed independently. There are some opportunities to engage with other women in the program, as well as some optional live virtual events in the summer and fall. - How much time per week do I need to dedicate to the program?
MBALaunch On Demand is self-paced so you can complete the program on your timeline. If you want to finish the program in eight weeks, we recommend dedicating three to four hours per week to MBALaunch On Demand. You may also need to allocate significant time to studying for the GMAT or other standardized test. - How does MBALaunch On Demand differ from the eight-month MBALaunch live program?
MBALaunch On Demand includes select recorded content from our eight-month program. The eight-month option includes synchronous programming, educational and networking events, peer networking groups, and formalized advising. Applications for the next eight-month program will open in late summer. For women applying to business school in 2023, we recommend MBALaunch On Demand. - When will I have access to the MBALaunch On Demand curriculum and program partner discounts?
Within one week of registration we will send you access information for the Learning Management System (LMS), an exclusive intranet site for MBALaunch On Demand participants. - How can I receive the application fee waivers?
To be eligible to receive the application fee waivers for the 2023-2024 application cycle, participants will need to complete all required content and surveys. All participants must also submit an official GMAT, GRE, or EA score prior to completion of the program.

Thank you for creating the Forté MBALaunch On Demand program. My current job has been so busy that I didn't have time to attend the full program, so having a virtual option was incredibly helpful! I'm thrilled to share that after attending these virtual sessions, I've been admitted to five of the six schools to which I applied, including three with sizable scholarships.
