Hello Everybody,
I see a lot of people on this forum who wrote GMAT in December or planning to take in January. Just curious as if you are planning to start your MBA in 2008 or 2009.
As for me, my plan is for Fall 09. Application deadline for round 1 is past and round 2 is nearing. From this forum and other sources it looks like getting an admit becomes tougher with each round.
It would be interesting to see what year people are planning to apply.

Thanks for the response.
More than 60% are planning to apply for 2008. It should be a busy time for all of you applying for this coming fall. Good luck with your applications. 2008 is ruled out for me due to personal reasons.

Due to current work + academic load, I will be taking the GMAT around Q3 of this year (roughly) and will be applying for grad schools starting about the middle of 2009. I will be applying to about 8 schools, all for the 2010 start.

I'm one of few late folks here. I'm a college senior and am taking the GMAT in late February. I'm more than likely applying for Fall '10. Where I apply all depends on how well I do on the test. I'm applying to UW-Madison for their Real Estate program no matter how I do. However, if I really "beat" the GMAT and end up in the 750+ range I'll consider applying to a few of the ultra elites as well and spend an extra year in the workforce before applying for Fall '11. If I stink it up, retake it until I score well enough to apply to UW and then only apply there :(
