Dear Members/Consultants/Seniors

I've a question w.r.t. business school applications. I've been admitted to 7 universities (6 with scholarship) last year (Fall 2016) in the range of top 35-55 business schools in the U.S. However, I chose not to join because of both personal and professional reasons.

Now, when i am re applying to universities in the range top 10-35, should I mention about the admits that I received from different schools last year? Will it strengthen my case showing that I'm a hire-able/good candidate for admissions to business schools or should I skip this information altogether.

Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thank You!

I would probably skip it

If your profile is that good (so many scholarships) you will do fine

It might show against you that you were not committed to do a MBA

I share the same view. No need to mention at all. It may open a question why you rejected. If you answer with them you professional and personal reasons, the another question why you did not defer. Many unnecessary questions may pop up, which I prefer to avoid.

Good luck

Thanks Mo2men I resonate with what you guys have to say and I'll refrain from putting the names of my previous admits.

Dear Members/Consultants/Seniors

I'vI think I would just focus on this current year. As long as you were working you don't need to explain the past. If you applied to the same school they will know so you will then have to address that- and the best way is directly and briefly. If you were a strong candidate in the past, likely you are still a strong candidate this year.e a question w.r.t. business school applications. I've been admitted to 7 universities (6 with scholarship) last year (Fall 2016) in the range of top 35-55 business schools in the U.S. However, I chose not to join because of both personal and professional reasons.

Now, when i am re applying to universities in the range top 10-35, should I mention about the admits that I received from different schools last year?

Thanks StratusMBACounselor for the perspective. I have noted it down and did the same with my Round 2 schools. It is officially an end to the application season and I believe all the results will come out in a few more days.

Thank you.
