Since Kellogg has been talking about unprecedented application application volume this year, I have a feeling applications are up across the board so round three is going to be a crapshoot but some US schools will give you a test waiver and you can apply without one.

Wow! That is a very unique profile🤩

Are you only applying to European schools? Are you planning to recruit in Europe?

Thanks bb! Only applying to European schools at the moment. I spent a year abroad in Europe during my undergrad and fiance's family is Italian so we'd like to be in Europe. Yes plan to recruit in Europe. My GMAT score is also on the lower side, which I know when paired with unique work background has more value for European schools. Are there any other programs you think would be a good fit with this GMAT or if it was a bit higher?

Your GMAT is putting schools into a tough dilemma - admit a unique and qualified candidate but take a hit on their average GMAT and thus a hit to the rankings OR pass them by and hurt the diversity of the class but stay afload in the rankings. The longer term win would be to ding you unfortunately. If you can apply with a score waiver or a higher score, I feel you would def be able to break through quite a few adcoms ... you need at least 50 points to start approaching them and ideally 100 to conquer places such as INSEAD.

Cool, I figured the same. Thanks for the insight. Are there any US schools which are known to give better chances to round 3 applicants?
