Hi,

This is Shweta.

I have 4.5 years of experience in a software firm.I have done my engineering from Mumbai University.
I am going to take my GMAT test in October first week.
I understand that i would be late for applications for the Round 1.

Does applying in Round 2 reduce the chance of securing admissions?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
Shweta.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. You ask a very good question. I always advice applicants to apply in Round 1 if at all possible. The reason being is that 1. It demonstrates to the adcom that you have a solid interest in the program (always a good thing) 2. Round 1 tends to be smaller 3. All the seats are available in the class so you have less applicants competing for more seats. However, I always recommend applying when you are ready. Right now it sounds like you need to focus your time and energy on improving your GMAT. In your case it probably makes the most sense to apply in round 2 in order to give yourself adequate time prepare for the GMAT and then you can focus on your applications.

Best,

Stacey

"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."
