When is better time to apply?

by Giorgio » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:17 am
Hello ,

I am planning to apply for fall 2010 ...

I am International applicant for both Europe and US schools , I've heard that it is better to apply in the 1st round for int. applicants... is this true? i am planing to take GMAT in mid October, than pass TOEFL and send applications in January ( 2nd round)

Can anyone comment on this?

ciao giorgio,
your idea sounds good. italain applicants tend to apply round 2, and that's fine for many schools.
which schools are you considering?
