Hi all,
I just have a hypothetical question for you - if let's say, I were to apply to 5 different schools. Of those schools, my top 3 choices all rejected me, for one reason or another - however, two of my bottom-ranked choices offered admission. If I feel that I can re-apply to my top 3 choices the following year with a better chance after gaining more work experience or re-writing the GMAT or for whatever reason, would it be wise to reject my bottom 2 choice admission offers?
Would it essentially have me 'blacklisted' at those 2 schools, in the event that I do decide to re-apply the following year or later years?
And how do ad-coms generally look at re-applicants? Especially with a year's time between application and re-application? Do they automatically say "we remember this applicant from last year, we rejected them, and so why should we admit them this time around?"
Thanks!
