Hi
I have a question regarding the admission deadlines for the universities Ive shortlisted (IE,IESE,IMD,NYU,HEC,INSEAD,NUS,Booth,LBS are some of them)

It looks like I would only have my GMAT score just after the 1st deadline so I can only make it by the 2nd.Does missing the 1st deadline for the above schools have a major impact????

Thanks

No. The general advice is apply in R1 if you are ready and able, but R2 is when most candidates submit their applications. You are totally fine with submitting R2. R3 has the worst odds and is only advisable if you're dead set on going that fall and are a non-traditional candidate.

Columbia is a major exception because they're rolling. Otherwise, good luck on the GMAT and gear up for Round 2!

Totally agree!
There is a slight advantage to R1, and a strategic one too (i.e. that you get some results before R2 deadlines, so you can shift your school strategy to reflect your results)... but overall for chances of getting in, they are basically the same.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
