As the title states, is there an acceptance rate or bias difference between applying at the end of Round 1 versus the beginning of Round 2? Particularly in Harvard and Columbia's cases?

Thanks.

Dear zmaster85,

There is no evidence to suggest there is a significant difference to applying in round 1 versus round 2 in terms of your chances. As schools receive complete applications, they generally enter the queue for evaluation. So, submitting prior to the specified deadline day is always advisable to avoid the large rush the 24-48 hours prior to the round deadline.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
