MBA – Strategy – When to Apply & Re-applying
As a rule, apply as early as possible. At most schools this will increase your chances of admittance. Many schools have
very few spots available for the third round of admissions.
Some schools make available the numbers of applicants they accept per round. You may want to inquire into such statistics
to help you determine when is the best time to complete your applications.
If you have already submitted applications to MBA programs and were not accepted at the schools you wanted to attend,
you should consider applying again. In fact, re-applicants tend to have a better chance of admittance to B-School than first
time applicants. But in order to reapply successfully, you will have to reconsider how you want to present yourself to the
admissions committee.
The best way to increase your chances of success is to improve your application. This could mean diversifying your
work experience or preparing for and retaking the GMAT, a very important factor in MBA admissions, or it could mean choosing
different individuals to write recommendations for you. If you applied late the first time, applying again and early
significantly increases your likelihood of admittance.
