PLEASE HELP! Deadline Nov 1

Help! Deadline Nov 1st...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My number one choice is Fordham University for spring 2010. The deadline is on the 1st of November, Should I wait and apply for fall 2010 instead, would I have a better chance since the dead line is not that close?? The School rep said that there is no limit for students they accept, is that true? Should I risks it and apply?

GMAT 560
GPA: 3.77 ( straight A's, after my freshman year)
Experience: 3 years.
Undergrad: Fordham Business.


Please help,

Thank you!

Dear taichka123,

It would depend on how strong a writer you are and if you can get your recommenders to complete recommendations by then. It is a week away, so that is not much time. If you feel you can get in a quality application and your recommenders are willing and able to get it done in that timeframe, then you should apply now. Otherwise, I think you are better off waiting until the next deadline.

Good luck,
Lisa
