Let me explain about my situation first. I decided to give GMAT(first attempt) a month before and I am yet to start my preparation for GMAT. It is like I am starting from scratch. I thought of giving my GMAT in November. So obviously I am going to miss Round 1 applications in all colleges for 2011 fall admissions.

My questions are .

1. Am I too late in giving my GMAT for 2011 FALL admissions ?
2. Are the chances of getting through in Round 2 that difficult ?
3. What would you advice me as I need to join 2011 FALL admissions at any cost?
4. Does MBA colleges have spring admissions ?

Santosh,

As according to my conversations with the b-school admission dept, they select 50-50 from round 1 and round 2.that again depends on the quality of the applicants.But there is no harm in applying in second round.I myself i aiming for second round as my previous GMAT score was a disaster.
I would suggest you to prepare hard and score good in GMAT first.as this is a primary gate pass to apply.

Best luck for your preparation.

Thanks and regards,
Saurabh Mahajan

I can understand you not winning,but i will not forgive you for not trying.

Thanks for the reply Saurabh. I came across certain universities where they have advised to apply early if we are in need of scholarship. Does that mean people applying in round 2 will have a disadvantage over those who apply in round 1 ?

"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."
