Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

I have applied to a B school on October 12th and my application states it us under review from then till today. Before Jan 31st they say that all the applications will be reviewed and the decisions will be out! My concerns are growing because

1.A person I know has already been admitted. She has a better profile! Agreed! But she applied at least two weeks after I did!

2.Few ppl I know including the above person were interviewed. I have not been interviewed till now and I have not been given any date for an interview or anything like that. The people who were interviewed had profiles similar to mine!

3. For a few i spoke to, the college has sent their referees a mail asking them to confirm their inputs. My referees have not received any!

So wat do u think guys?? I think I am already out of contention! My decision should be out by Jan 31st!! Need some inputs from u guys!

Hello,

I assume you have your decision now -- from the information you provided, it didn't look promising, but nevertheless I hope it was an admit!

If not, don't wallow, because there is still time to apply to other programs this season with a more successful application. First, take a hard, critical look at your application and determine ways you can improve your presentation. Then research schools that would meet your needs. Many good schools have four rounds, making the third round less problematic.

Good luck --
