Here is an option that many candidates aren't aware of - we decided to update you about this:
From Mid-January, there are about 40 deadlines (that are not last rounds deadlines!) for some of the world's top MBA programs (Top 25 programs, including Columbia, INSEAD, and others). These deadlines are for school start dates in September 2016 or January 2017. The admission chances in these deadlines are similar to second-round chances. Please see these options here:
