Hello - can anyone help me understand the timing of applications? Here's my situation. I want to apply to 4 schools (Duke, U of VA, U of MN, and U of PA). I know I'll have time to submit apps for 3 of the schools in R1, but the fourth school (Wharton) wasn't part of my consideration until I recently took the GMAT. I scored at the bottom end of their accepted range of scores so I want to give it a shot, however, I probably can't adequately prepare an application for this R1 deadline (Oct 4). So - is it possible to apply to 3 schools in R1, and then Wharton in R2? I'm just not sure if the schools I apply to in R1 will need a commitment from me before I even submit a R2 application (assuming I get accepted, of course). I don't suppose I can tell them I'm waiting to hear back from Wharton first! So would it then be best to do all applications in R2, or really get cracking and get them all in R1 regardless? Just not sure if you can split apps between rounds...

Thanks for any advice!

They will make attempts to get you to sign up (especially Duke who has a historically lower yield), but your offer should be good long enough for you to hear from your R2 schools. They all realize that top candidates are in the running at several schools, so it would be tough for them to try and quickly retract offers.

GMAT Score:350

by MrCleantek » Thu Oct 14, 2010 4:45 am
Hi All,
I gave my GMAT on Oct 1st , 2010. Got bombed with 350 score.
So obviously need to give another test. Go through this for more: https://www.beatthegmat.com/cracked-by-gmat-t67553.html

Now, I have planned to give test in end of December, 2010. Then I will be applying for 3rd and 4th rounds (very competitive). Should I go for it if I get good score?

My background:
Average GPA.
Decent NGO work.
29 months of work exp.

Should I hold for another year? I know info is limited. But a little help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you....

Halemani:

A 350 will be a challenge, so good that you are trying to get that up. You might consider PT programs, which are more forgiving of core numbers since they don't have to report their admission stats to the rankings boards. Just a thought in case your GMAT score does not come up much.

PT = Part-time programs. A PT program usually has a lot lower admission's stat averages (GMAT scores, GPA, etc.) than the FT (Full-time) program at the same school.

A good follow-up question that I'm curious about is: is their a meaningful perceived difference by employers between the PT and FT degree from the same school?

Sorter: thanks for that info.

As far as my knowledge is concerned I think PTs are lower in consideration that FTs. Because in PTs there is no internships and the group contacts. I always believe PTs are waste unless your employeer wants you to do it for a position change in their firm.
