Early Deadline or First Deadline?

[c23678]

Hello,

I am planning to apply for EMBA this year. Unfortunately I was unable to hit my target GMAT score in my previous attempts. So I decided to go for one more attempt end of Sep this year. I am confused whether to rush for Early Deadline or complete the GMAT first and then apply for First Deadline. Can someone provide me some clarity? Is applying on the First Deadline still has a good chances of getting in?

Thanks,

Hey there,

The answer is simple, take your GMAT and go for the first round. The difference between Early Decision and R1 isn't significant and, in your case, you should focus on getting the GMAT score you're aiming for. R1 is one of the best rounds to apply in so you'll be fine!

Good luck with the test!
