  1. I've been looking at stuff from poetsandquants and the like, and it seems like the opposite is true In Terms of Admissions Prospects, There's Never Been A Better Time To Top-50 Apply To MBA Programs This article above discusses a 10% increase in M acceptance rates for top-50 programs over the course of the past 5 years. Thoughts? Do you agree it's much easier to get in now than, 2015 maybe?
  2. The other factor to consider is simply just the # of application packages you are willing to put together? Interesting article here on the near-linear relationship btw # applications submitted and applicants' chance of attaining at least one offer of admission: https://www.graduateadmissionsinsight.com/post/multiple-grad-school-apps-impact-on-acceptance-rates
  3. In terms of GMAT preparation--first you need to develop/review your overall comprehension of what comprises the examination.
  4. There are a lot of productive ways to spend a gap year... you are clearly very interested and motivated. I wouldn't overly stress yourself out--start working towards a mindset of "I'm going to commit at least 1 hour per day doing something that gets me closer to PhD acceptance." This could be applying for internships or research opportunities, working on PhD program apps, etc.
  5. I'm predominately in the psychology PhD admissions realm...but I'm truly starting to think for just about all doctoral programs in competitive disciplines that the number of applications may may be the most important factor in gaining an acceptance. The Impact of Multiple Grad School Apps on Acceptance Rates I know it sucks...but it really seems like a numbers game. Find 15 programs that match your interests and where you have a personality fit. Then just go all out on tailoring your apps to the top 10 you fit best with out of those. If stats are average, an applicant be all but guaranteed?
