I am positive that will be a great guide when I start with my essays First off, thanks for the feedback on MBA Admission for Smarties! I'm glad you find it helpful. We tried to pack it full of useful guidance. I'm assuming your grades are good and from a school with a reputation for rigor. Regarding your target schools and qualifications, you have chosen your schools well and are applying appropriately. You may also want to consider Ross. Booth is a stretch for you and if you want to try for a stretch, go for Kellogg, Haas, or MIT, given your goals. If I were to narrow down your list, I would choose 1-2 from Kellogg, Haas, or MIT and then apply to Duke, and 3-4 from McCombs, Ross, Darden, Tepper & Johnson. Best, Linda

Best, Linda Thank you Linda, I am looking into Kelloggs, Hass and MIT. I plan to apply to 5-6 schools. Probably 3 in first round and 2-3 in second round. Any suggestions which one should I target in first round. I plan to apply to Duke, Darden and Tepper in first and perhaps McCombs, Ross/Booth/Kellogg and a safe one. Do you think I can consider McCombs or UNC as one of the safe schools? Cheers!

Given your demographic, I'm not sure I would consider UNC and McCombs as safeties, but they are your most likely acceptances. If you are not required to put down deposits that you are unwilling to lose for any round 1 acceptances until you hear from round 2 schools, then your approach to timing and rounds is excellent. Best, Linda
