Hi

I think this post will be usefull to all people

I am planning to apply for US,Canadian,Australian,Singapore,Indian bschools (all or 1 or2)


I am completely new to admissions and i have yet to take my gmat

1)Please tell me when would be the best time to give gmat so that i dont compromise on my admissions ,in that i make my admissions in first round

I know admissions is long drawn process,but i was thinking that since all schools dont have the same deadline ,i can prepare for one school and the school that has deadlines late in this year i will start the last


I am asking this as an International student.
It would be very usefull if the replies are based on applying for round one this year

If i have asked a very general question,please try to answer to the best .

Thanks
Krishna

Try to knock out the GMAT as soon as possible, but try to be as prepared as possible. Having to deal with the GMAT while putting together solid applications can be a pain. You have about 2 months to get the GMAT out of the way before you have to start with your first round 1 applications. I'd start studying right now, no reason to procrastinate :D
