Any comments, feelings, advice to share?: Apply in the round where you feel your candidacy can be the strongest but also be mindful that the later you apply the tougher your chances will be even with a really good profile. In my opinion the later rounds are more welcoming to students with uncommon profiles. Make sure you talk to the students at target school and ask specific questions (e.g. which professor impacted you the most? Which event at the club helped you in your MBA journey the most) that you can use as inputs for your essays or interviews. Adcoms love to see you have done your homework. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to help.
