Hi, Anyone here who has applied for the MBA/ MS Data Science Joint degree ? is there any seperate group for that ? If not, do the MBA interview timelines apply to the joint degree programmes as well ?

You can manage but I would suggest to complete your GMAT before starting your apps since the score would determine which schools you should apply

Effective time management is crucial for success; while many applicants can handle it, some struggle. It’s advisable to complete your GMAT first, which will give you a clearer perspective on which schools to apply to. AI can have limitations and may produce generic content that comes off as mechanical. If an admissions officer suspects the use of AI without your disclosure, it could convey that you’re seeking shortcuts rather than genuinely putting in the effort to deepen your self-awareness and earn your place in the program.
