Hey everyone, I'm looking at a time crunch between my scheduled GMAT and my desired MBA program deadline so I wanted to ask you all this: How long does it take to fill out a quality MBA application?

If you applied to NYU, UCLA, or UTexas and got accepted, your input would be especially valuable to me

Thanks dk

I can't tell you exactly how long it will take because everyone is in a different situation. Hire an application consultant if you want to speed up the process a little. Spend time to think about what you're going to write; once you start writing your ideas, you can't say that "this idea is not so good, let's start over again" because you're probably running out of time to meet the deadline. Also, have multiple people to read your essays and get opinions from them. Moreover, if you already have a list of people that you want to get recommendations from, please re-connect with them asap. Filling the recommendation forms is a time-consuming process!!

I just started my 1st year MBA program at a top school, and I discovered that my background is really mediocore after getting to know the people in my class, and I told myself that 'geesh, i'm so damn lucky."
