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

"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."
