Hey guyz,

Although i'm a frequent user in BTG, this is my first post under MBA Admission Process.

I came across an article that applying to schools with rolling admissions has a slight edge over schools with round admissions. One is chances of getting admitted into the schools is higher in schools with rolling admissions because, in round admissions your application will be compared with all other applications and only then a final call is taken over the application.

I'm looking for the schools that have rolling admissions. I googled and found that UCLA and McCombs have rolling admissions. Any other American or European b-school with rolling admissions?

UCLA doesn't have rolling admissions. I think I've seen some old articles that say they used to, but I applied this year and there was no mention of rolling admissions. They have three rounds.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "chances of getting admitted into the schools is higher in schools with rolling admissions". For schools that have rolling admission, many schools tend to use their previous applicant pool as a bench mark to value applications. Probably the only advantage of applying to schools with rolling admissions is that if you apply early, and your chances of getting a response is pretty high provided they like you

On the other hand many schools which have a round applications might receive less number of application in certain rounds and your chances might be higher with them. But this is merely a speculation based on arbitrary information.

"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 gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
