Dear naaga,

Many schools have a cut off for international applications around February 1 or March 1. This is mainly due to the paperwork and process to issue student visas. I think it might just be a little too late if you have not taken the GMAT yet as you would need to take it in the next 2-3 weeks to make a March 1 deadline.

Good luck,
Lisa

Dear naaga,

That is really a decision for you to make. If you think you can put together a strong application and score well on the GMAT in the next couple of weeks, then perhaps you should apply. If you are unsure, then you might want to take some additional time and apply in October to enter in 2010.

Regards,
Lisa
