I was wondering if it is possible to start B-school in January. I haven't read anything about January start dates online, but I figured there's no harm in asking fellow forum members. I still haven't taken the GMAT and it seems like it's too late to apply for the Fall 2012 semester. Starting in Fall 2013 just seems so far away especially when I so want to start school this fall.

Can you start B-School in January?

Yes, some schools do, including top programs like Columbia. However, from what I've seen part time programs are more likely to start in the winter term than full time ones depending on your track.

Sure, many MBA programs has a January intake, for example: Columbia, INSEAD, IMD, IE, Rotterdam.
