‘Round 2′ interview invites have already begun trickling out from Stanford, Tuck (international candidates) and Wharton. In addition, it appears that some ’round 1′ decisions have been made based on the looks of ’round 2′. For example, HBS sent out a handful of ’round 1′ interview invites at the last minute after they had received their second round applications. Once again, this sort of activity is likely due to the decrease in volume . . . → Continue Reading Stanford has begun calling ‘Round 1′ applicants who made the cut! They actually started in the middle of the night (Pacific time) to catch European and Asian students as they started their day. Check the BW Forums for detailed discussions…. Congratulations to those of you who have been admitted to the Stanford class . . . → Continue Reading Today’s Wall Street Journal Online, has an interesting article about the shift in undergraduate admissions trends. In essence, the article outlines undergraduate policies like ‘early action’, ‘early decision’ and ‘single-choice early action’ while offering information on acceptance rates in these early rounds, etc. The interesting link between this article and the world of MBA admissions relates to the increasing use of ‘early decision’ rounds or early ‘Round 1′ deadlines at business schools. MBA programs like Cornell/Johnson and Dartmouth/Tuck are pushing ‘early action’ deadlines (mid-October) and Columbia continues to find takers for their often controversial ‘early decision’ deadline (mid-October). Other schools, like Wharton, have simply made their ‘Round 1′ deadline earlier in the last couple of years . . . → Continue Reading ‘Round 1′ decisions have begun to flow at a number of schools. Of note are U. Michigan and U. Chicago, along with MIT’s final notification this past Monday. Here are a few relevant chats going on in the BW Forms: MIT (general), MIT (admits), MIT (waitlisters) For those of you who received bad news, now is a good time to think about your options. Before you make any decisions, you need to ask yourself the following question: Do I absolutely need to attend an MBA program this fall – no matter what – or can I wait another year? Depending on the answer to this question you may follow one . . . → Continue Reading Volume appears to be down in ‘Round 2′ at nearly all of the top schools. When combined with the ‘Round 1′ declines, this brings a couple of interesting questions to mind: 1) Will the chances of admission be slightly better than usual in the typically feared ‘Round 3′? As long as we keep in mind the fact that we are still talking about the very best schools in the nation (and generally slim odds to begin with), the short answer is yes. This is true for a couple of reasons. First, if volume is down as much as 25%, schools will inevitably admit a greater percentage of ‘Round 3′ applicants than in past years (assuming they maintain class sizes). Second, and perhaps more . . . → Continue Reading If you think this past week was busy (9 major deadlines over 5 days), there’s still more to come! Let’s have a look at what’s on deck for next week: Tues: UNC Despite the continued decline in volume that most schools are seeing in round 2 (anywhere from 15-30%), it allows makes sense to diversify your portfolio and consider a range of programs. As such, there may be some opportunities to consider in the . . . → Continue Reading Many MBA applicants are burning the midnight oil this week in order to polish their essays and increase their chances of admission. After all, in the world of MBA admissions counseling, nearly everyone focuses on the essays as the key area to focus one’s efforts (once the GMAT is out of the way). One often overlooked aspect in the process, however, is the application form itself. Most candidates leave the forms for the last minute or rush to fill out online applications from work on D-day, but the truth is that a weak effort on these forms can do all kinds of harm to your candidacy. As such, here are a few tips for applicants who are about to approach the application . . . → Continue Reading Happy 2004 from the entire Clear Admit staff!
