Can someone clarify this? The primary reason for this deadline seems to be the time it would take to get a visa but it takes <1 month to get a US visa date nowadays. So, I'm wondering if this R2 for internation students is a suggestion or if it is a firm deadline that would eliminate me from consideration post R2.

Thanks,
Pratap
There are schools that would suggest that international students should not apply R3 but there are schools that would not allow you to apply such as Kelloggs.
Please go the websites of each schools in their "fast facts" or "deadlines" section and see for yourself. Having said that, R3 is very difficult to get through. Primarily because the schools are looking for someone exceptional/ out of the way in R3. For example, AFAIK back in 2005, 800 applications were made for R3 in Wharton. Wharton took around 67 applicants and that included waitlisted guys. So please see your odds.

The earlier you apply is better but not at the cost of the quality of the application. Similarly, it would be disastrous to apply R3 if there is nothing "significant" in your application.

It is the quality of work-ex and not quantity that matters. Please do not judge your chances based on objective data points. People like you have made it to top 5 and people like you have struggled to get it in 15-20. I am sorry for such an answer but having gone through the experience myself, I think the MBA admissions game is completely based on the theory of Lord Krishna "Karm kiye ja, fal ki chinta matt kar"

I know this is not the answer you are looking for but if someone gives you a more concrete answer then it would be equivalent to you walking on water.

Are you sure what you want to do? cause I do not know many ppl, if any who would attempt both these papers simply because the difference in approach after the exam is huge. huge huge.

where is your profile? you have given us stats, not your profile. although a sales and marketing job should put you gud - differentiate from others that is.

no idea. help in choosing? do your homework, i sincerely believe that you need to feel strongly about a school and that can come about only after xtensive personal search.

Re: Phoren B-school Assistance Desk - 29-11-2006, 03:01 PM

I received a call from Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University. Also, they have offered me a Drucker Fellowship which incorporates:
1) A $40,000 scholarship ($20,000/year),
2) Top priority for a research assistantship in the second year,
3) An executive mentor from a leading company in the Los Angeles community

Could you please throw some light on the university and if this opportunity is worth pursuing??
