I had a question. Some schools like Georgia Tech are asking for Financial documentation, along with the other application documents. Anybody have a bank document format? Thanks in advance.

The deadlines for the next year are usually released around July - August.

The best resource is the school's website or keep checking clearadmit.com or accepted.com or the sorts for updates.

Hey All,

Be aware that the deadline of NUS first round is 31st of December. In my opinion, Indian applicants should apply in this round itself as NUS tries to restrict the number of Indian students to maintain diversity. Over 2000 Indians are expected to apply with an average GMAT score in the range of 680-690. All the best to everyone.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hi Guys,

Need your help.
I wrote GMAT last month and got 710(va - 36, qa - 50):satisfie:. Planning to apply some decent schools in US.
But the problem is I am yet to start my application process. Even if i start now, i could apply only in R2(as deadlines for R1 is over for most of the schools). So if i apply in R2, will that affect my chances of getting admit? I know R1 is better than R2. But how far???

:

Hi,

I am yet to take my GMAT.

I am planning for a 1 year MBA either in USA or UK or India.

Can anyone provide me with the list pf colleges in USA which offer 1 year MBA?

Cheers

Thanks for Consolidate list of deadlines n funda on R1, R2 n R3 :satisfie:

All my frens on the forum,have a question.Request all to kindly pour suggestions after going through my profile below as i am wondering whether i should reschedule my GMAT Exam date ie 29-Sep-2007 to some other time:

My question & details are as follows:
******************************************************
After having prepared for two months,i couldnot improve much on score front for most of the mock tests(GMAC from mba.com & the paper based test from the same source).I am scoring in the range of 620-660 and in one Kaplan test that i gave,i got 540 only.
Now to brief about my profile:-

Working since Jun-2003 till date in ORACLE applications (ERP) as techno functional consultant (starting with INFOSYS & currently with MERRILL LYNCH)

ELECTRONICS & TELECOM engineer
Acads :- B.E-->75%
12th --> 74%
10th--> 78%
Curriculars include dramatics,sports (participated & lead teams) ,activities like education camps etc.

*******************************
Assuming ,and more so being so near to exam date,if i get any such score in range of 640-68-,I am worried that with such dismal score WOULD I BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A DECENT Bschool ,as initially schools of the like GSB,USC-Marshall,ISB,CEIBS & INSEAD(Singapore) which all i wanted to apply seemingly would be remotely receptive to my app.

In such a case what would be my chances to presenting a good app to schools like NUS,SPJCM(Dubai-Sinigapore),INSEAD(Singapore), and any other good Bschools(which any of you is welcome to suggest me) .

Request all to kindly mail /pm/ post your advice as i am less informed about the choices of schools to be made in this score range .
Also keeping in view that i would be very well held up with my office work till 30thOctober(ie entire month of October),is it anyways advisable to reschedule my exam date some time in november.Kindly advice .

I know i have put across a bit detailed presentation,but i deemed it neccessary in order to get really good insights from all PGmates in order to avoid any mistake in the initial round itself

Thanks to all of you who have invested time in reading this & are helpin me in resolving this dilemma.

As kunal said..u'd be late for R1 round...U can app for R2 though..but u wud be hard pressed for the time one takes to think thru the essays..u can have a idea of wat u want to do and how to go abt writing the essays...when u have got free time, go thru other sites and blogs of ppl who have secured admission to top colleges. U can get an idea of apping thru their blogs too..

In singapore...one can app to colls like NUS, nanyang..Insead (it has a campus there) would be a gr8 choice...

BTW could you share your profile with us..if u dont mind??

Hi,

Can somone please elaborate on what exactly defines the "quality work ex" in terms of quality and time.

Does the IT juntaa fits into the so called "Quality work ex". Or its just another trick of the trade to present what you were doing for last couple of years.

Cheers.

the 2nd round deadline for applying to ISB is November 15th.. So u sud finish ur GMAT by 15th Oct to have around a months time to work on ur apps.. also just in case u **** up ur GMAT u will have around 20-25 days to prepare and reappear for it (while simultaneaously working on ur apps)..

Guys,

Hi PGites

I plan to pursue a career in MBA Finance preferably with a one year program. Will like to know the colleges in US, UK and India which are known for Finance course. Also which colleges provide one year Full time MBA program apart from ISB and Great Lake.

Also what type of GMAT score will be required for each college.

Hi, I am another one of those newbies. Please clarify one point. Are these interviews for International Students as well. And if yes, then whats the mode? Are the interviews telephonic in nature? I guess yes...
Plus, advice me about which colleges to apply. I got a GMAT score of 760..
Regards
arnab

It's a good score to start with....For interview,yes telephonic interviews are there but one or two schools (for e.g. INSEAD) conduct interviews in India....you go to the top colleges or as per your choice and see the respective websites of these schools and get an idea about the student profiles. Most of the big schools do reveal about their students' profile which include GMAT score, work ex etc....
Go ahead and all the best

4) Wait for the school's response.. Depending on the school's admission process you will either get an inetrview call/ rejection (i hope not) or a direct admission.. In 99.99999% cases itll be an interview call.. I cant recall any school I know that gives u a direct admission (MBS does i think)

5) INTERVIEW..

6) Wait for results..

7) Hopefully if u get a postive response, and may be more than one positive response, then u get to select which school u wanna go to.. and then begins another process of arranging finances, visa, etc etc etc..

Hope that answers ur query..

hi
i am really greatful for all that information u gave . will surely keep ur suggestions in mind from now ( and post in the right thread ).
thanx for ur prompt reply.

U r welcome.. But considering u r still in college u sudnt be worrying much about it now.. A MBA from a good institute can be acheived as well as the true value of it can be enjoyed only when u have good amount n quality work ex.. so u sud be concentrating on getting a good job..

Hey Vibhor..

Welcome to PG.. Since u r only 7 posts old coupla points to note:

1) Before posting anything look around the other threads.. U might just find the answers too your queries without even asking for it..

2) Try n post your query in the correct thread.. In that way u save your time and the chances of getting a quicker as well as correct response are way higer.. Your query sud have gone to the "B-Skool assistance desk"..

Anyways.. : are allowed such mistakes- but only initially-

Now to answer your query

the following are the rough stages in an application process:

1) Take your GMAT (This stage can be shifted to other ranks depending on your preference- but having a GMAT score in hand is a great way to begin)

2) Shortlist schools as per score, budget, your personal choice, blah, blah, blah..

3) Write your application essay/ SOP's.. This stage takes the longest and you sud give ur max to this stage.. a good gmat score always helps your case but might now necessarily get u a call.. a good essay most often than not will surely get u an interview call..

4) Wait for the school's response.. Depending on the school's admission process you will either get an inetrview call/ rejection (i hope not) or a direct admission.. In 99.99999% cases itll be an interview call.. I cant recall any school I know that gives u a direct admission (MBS does i think)

5) INTERVIEW..

6) Wait for results..

7) Hopefully if u get a postive response, and may be more than one positive response, then u get to select which school u wanna go to.. and then begins another process of arranging finances, visa, etc etc etc..

To answer your 2nd question.. there is no fixed BEST time to apply, but yes, a GMAT in around the month of August-September gives u ample time to apply in the first round of most B skools, and in the 2nd round of a few others (which sud be ur target as the chances of an admit are higher in the 1st round).. Also taking GMAT during this time gives u a scope of retaking ur GMAT, and still making it to the 2nd deadline in worst case scenarios, just in case u bungle the first GMAT..

Hope that answers ur query..

thanks a ton kunal ,

i was actually under the impression that some unis do have a spring intake,becuse i know a few people whove scored like in the 580-610 and are applying for the spring terms,
anyway thanks for the info man

i have a few more queries, ill prolly post it in the right thread before the mod gets me lol

hey kunal ,

i guess ive asked you this in another thread as well , what about spring deadlines?
do only the non-top 20 schools have a spring intake in the first place?

my apologies if its the wrong thread but would appreciate it if you could enlighten me about this

Hi PTJ,
I am not sure about any other thread.
anyhow, from what i know 99 out of 100 schools have only a fall intake. MBA is diff from say a MS since there are certain set patterns in internships and jobs in the industry. so you really have very little space to play around with.

so there, only fall and no spring.

Cheers

I would still not put it such black and white.
My guesstimate for your chances is 50/45/5 for R1/2/3 respectively.
I don't think it is much sharper than this cause:
a) AdCom reserves seats for R1 to a ballpark figure. simply to ensure fairness! So number of seats available do not drop sharply cause they never were available for the full quote
b) The number of aspirants remains same to a little more in R2. That itself is the only factor that reduces probability.

Cheers

Hi Guys.

I planning to take my GMAT in september or early october. Will I have enuf time to apply for the universities in US?

Hi,

Thanks for the deadlines!
I am taking my GMAT on Nov 2. I know i will be late to apply for R1 in most B Schools.
Can you tell me whats the reason behind R1, R2, R3....Is it that one has better chances to get through if he applies for R1??
??:

Hey..

I'd like to add to what kunal said..In R1 the chances of one getting in are much higher..compared to R2...similarly R2>R3....statistically .....coz the number of seats u r contending for in th first round is higher compared to the number of seats in the second round....E.g a smalll school like stanford takes in around 360-370 students per class..After the first round they might have taken in 180 students...say...so the secod time around u are competing only for 180 seats and not for 360 seats as u were doing in the first round....this applies for the consequent rounds too.. So R1>R2>R3..

But this doesnt mean that it is impossible to get in the colleges in the second round. If ur app is strong then u definitely stand a chance..

Hi Nagpal,

Thanks for the quick reply, really appreciate it :)
I understand this R123 much better now....

GMATICAN,

R1, R2 and R3 is simply their way of making sure that your app gets full attention. Its unlike the system in india where everything has a weightage and points to it so you just feed into the system and Vola!, you get an admit, or you don't.
they want to make sure they have given your app to atleast 2 readers and since more info is asked it takes time for them to go thru it.
Hence 1 2 & 3.
as for the chances, statistically R1 is better than R2 but only if you would theoretically have equally strong apps in them. Otherwise it is common sense that you submit your app when you are ready.
R3 is not recommended by most schools for international students cause of Visa, lack of scholarships, boarding etc.

Cheers

depends on the round in which you want to apply. too late for R1 and will be pressed for R2 unless you have a baseframe in mind on your apping strategy.
NUS, Chicago GSB, Singapore Campus, some other B-schools from India have also reportedly set up base there.
try and look through various other forums. this forum does not cater to these queries (try phoren B-school and others)
