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!

Hi Padre,

It's easy to see what's going on (or not going) on with other people... It is very unlikely that your school reads applications in the order in which they were received, so there's no point in worrying about the fact that people who applied after you have already been admitted.

However, given the other lack of activity on your application, it unfortunately does not look good. However, I wouldn't be shocked if you got waitlisted (not rejected) on Jan. 31. I guess that may be the best you can hope for at this point. If that is the case, then check out this post on MBA admissions waitlist strategies on the Veritas Prep blog.

I wish I could offer you more, but that's the way it looks right now!

"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."
