Round 3: GMAT is Your Best Weapon

Share This Post

The January Round 2 deadline to apply to business schools probably came and went while you were still ringing in the new year. Or, if you have just decided you want to go to business school, Round 3 is the time to apply to get your MBA.

So what’s a round?

Rounds are business school application periods. Most schools have 3, while other schools have 4 or accepted students on a rolling basis (until the class is filled). Round 1, in October, is always the best round to apply. It isn’t very competitive since this deadline slips many students’ minds. The second one tends to be competitive because more people apply at this time than any other. While Round 3 is less competitive than 2, acceptance is still difficult at this time because much of the class has been filled already. So while you have fewer students, you have fewer spots.

GMAT is the Knockout Punch

If you are applying for Round 3, your best weapon and reason you should be accepted is your GMAT score. Don’t “enter the ring” not ready to fight. You have to train for the GMAT and business school like any top athlete. Preparing alone is not the best way to go about it: get a trainer, get a training plan, and get a sparring buddy. We can help you with all 3 of these.
