dart2gmat Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi, Thanks for your response and feedback.Yes,my target program is a top US MBA..and my GPA is 3.5 (missed that in last post). Please suggest top tier and few good tier 2 programs that fit my profile and my short-term and long-term goals. However,my concern is that my application would take some more time to complete.By the time it is ready, most of the top tier schools' R1 deadline would surpass and I might end up applying in R2.Will it hurt my chances , or will the adcoms look at my application irrespective of the date on which it reaches them..Please advise. Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Regds, dart2gmat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradschool Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am not much aware of top MBA programs but I know that you can try for Harvard, University of Chicago, UCLA - Anderson or Haas. although, many say that it is better to apply in R1, I personally don't find it bad to apply in R2. Go ahead and and apply!!! Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
