Hi Folks:

I recently started preparing for GMAT. Due to very hectic work schedule, I could not find much time to prepare. I have now decided to take 1 month off from my job for preparation and write GMAT in the first week or mid of December. Will it be too late for admissions in fall of 2012 if I take GMAT in Decemeber 2011? I understand I am too late for the first deadlines. But will I be in time for the second deadlines? Should I go ahead or drop the idea of admission in 2012 and try for 2013? Also if I plan to take the exam in December, should I start preparing for the applications right away?

Any information would be truly appreciated.
Thanks!

Most of the US B-schools will have their Round 2 deadlines in early Jan, so you should be in time for applying in Round 2. You can take a look at deadlines for other schools on our homepage www.colormeone.com

Should you delay applying for another year? Well, that is a different decision altogether and will depend on many other factors.

Yes, you should definitely start the applications simultaneously as you prepare for the GMAT.

Good Luck!
