Applying last minute..

by jkwan » Mon Mar 02, 2009 7:54 am
I'm taking my GMAT this April, and was originally thinking of applying for the Fall 2010 term, but I have just realized that the schools I'll be applying to (Anderson UCLA, Marshall USC) will still be accepting applications until end of April/May. Do you recommend for anyone to apply during the last round of applications, or is it always better for people to apply early during the first/second round?

Thanks.

It is almost always better to apply round 1, however this post deals with factors to consider: MBA Admissions: Should You Apply Round 3?

Best,
