Program Costs
At MLT, we’re invested in you. We commit significant time and resources to each MBA Prep Fellow. If accepted into MBA Prep, we expect you to make a similar commitment to MLT and your future. MLT is highly invested in the success of each fellow. The value of the coaching, programming, and access is comparable to that of for-profit admissions consulting companies, and it’s a fraction of the cost.
- Application fee: $105
- Non-refundable program fee: $1,000 (Traditional), $3000 (Accelerated). For MBA Prep Two-Year, $650 is due before Year One, Fellows will pay either $1000 or $3000 to start Year Two depending on which program they are continuing on to (most will join MBA Prep Traditional). Payment in full is required by the deadline stated in your admission letter.
- Travel: As a Fellow, you will pay for your travel to and from three-weekend seminars should they be in-person. MLT will pay for your lodging and most meals. Additional details on seminar dates are included in the MBA Prep application and in your offer of admission.
