Hey,
I was wondering whether there are schools with late admission in the US. Precisely, I'd be interested in a Master's program in finance, financial engineering, economics. LSE (uk), for instance, offers rolling admissions until late september.
Thanks in advance.
rolling admissions for b-School (Originally Posted: 04/13/2011)
Hi, I am currently applying to B-schools in NYC, and am re-taking the GMAT on Friday. I know that I am quite late in the process for fall 2011, and the schools I am looking at all have rolling admissions.
My question is: if I apply near the end of the deadlines for rolling admissions, am I seriously crippling my chances of getting accepted, and would I be better off applying for Spring 2012?
In other words, if applying near the deadlines for schools with rolling admissions, are most spots already filled?
Thanks!
Would I be correct to assume you are going part-time? (I am not aware of any MBA programs that start full-time in the spring).
From Kellogg's website:
"Our rolling admission process does not mean that your chances of admittance are affected by when you submit an application. We encourage candidates to submit applications when they are complete. Chances of acceptance do not decrease as the deadline approaches, and you have the same opportunity for admittance if the application is submitted on the deadline or months in advance of the deadline."
Most schools have a much softer target for the part-time program as opposed to full-time. If they say they are accepting 2,000 students that is what they are accepting. I would say full-time your chances are 100% better the earlier you apply, particularly if you are a borderline case.
Yes, I am looking at part-time programs. I'm confused by Kellogg's response, as I thought rolling admissions means that slots would have already been filled the closer I get to deadlines... What do you mean by "softer target"?
