Seeking some advice from fellow bschool applicants
Background- I took the GMAT in September 2017 and got a 740 (49Q, 42V), I decided then I was going to start applying to bschool (R2). I applied to Fuqua, Kellogg, and Sloan and got dinged at all three. After seeing all three dings, I felt extremely disappointed trying to figure out what I did wrong. Areas i thought were my weakness include my years of experience (55 months by matriculation), my recommendations possibly (one is my current supervisor, the other was a previous supervisor both of whom I don't think would put enough effort to write a very good letter), or my essay (my essays for all of the schools dictated why I wanted to move away from my technical role in oil and gas and move into a operations optimization/improvement role and how bschool would give me the critical thinking skills to achieve this and have an impact on an organization). The other area I think may have hurt me is that I didnt visit these three schools.
Any advice? Should I apply R1 for Fall 2019 matriculation?

Hi chestud13,
I am sorry you got rejected by the three schools. I know how disappointing this can be.
But don't feel discouraged. If an MBA is very important for you at this point of your career, do not give up and reapply in R1 for Fall 2019.
This time, you might want to work with an admissions consultant to help you address the vulnerabilities in your profile, and submit a winning application.
It would be really helpful too to conduct a detailed "Ding Analysis" of all three applications. This is to identify what went wrong and address it in your next applications.
If you shared with me all three applications, I would be happy to conduct this "Ding Analysis". For a more detailed discussion, please feel free to PM me or email me directly at alex@ruizlee.es.
Thank you, and good luck!
Best regards
Alex

Hi chestud13,
Try not to be discouraged by this year's outcome - many candidates are successful as reapplicants. It's tough to know why you got the results that you did, but I would definitely encourage you to reapply. Whether to reapply in R1 for Fall 2019 matriculation really depends on the growth that you think you can demonstrate in the interim - for instance, are you able to work on impactful projects through work and/or your extracurricular activities? If you think spending more time to bolster your profile would be more fruitful, then reapplying in R2 would be fine as well (the most important thing is to reapply when you feel that you can put your best foot forward).
Keep at it - feel free to reach out at https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact or info@ivygroupe.com if that would be helpful.
Best,
Shaifali
