MBA Admissions: When to Apply to Business School R1 vs R2

David White, co-founder of Menlo Coaching, discusses when you should apply to business school and what to consider when choosing an MBA application round.

A lot of business school applicants wonder which round they should apply in—rush to submit their MBA applications in Round 1, or spend more time polishing their applications and submit in Round 2? And what about Round 3? You might even want to know how each round impacts your odds of acceptance. There is no single “round 1 vs. round 2 acceptance rate” that applies to every MBA applicant. Deciding factors include:
• GMAT score
• If you’ve visited your target programs
• Work schedule and trajectory
• Your profile and background
• Competitiveness of your target MBA programs

It can be tempting to spread the work of your applications over a longer period by targeting some of the more competitive programs in Round 1 and submitting the other applications in Round 2. However, it’s advisable to submit everything in the same application round.

In this video, David outlines the MBA application round cycle: everything you need to know for when to apply for your MBA. Also hear from successful applicants who won admission to the top business schools like Harvard and Wharton.
