Hi, is it advisable to apply to R3 with GMAT waiver? I am an Indian Female, total 4.5+ years of experience. 3 years as Healthcare consultant and last 2 years I have been exploring. Doing different entrepreneurial things. I really want to give myself a chance because I have been too scared of my profile, and always doubt my self. I couldn’t score well in either GRE or GMAT, hence going with waiver. Any advice would be appreciated. I wouldn’t wanna wait 1 more year for my MBA as I will turn 28 and by the time I get out, I would be 30.
I suggest MBA consultants to advise here.
My in my opinion - your age is actually the average age for an MBA in the USA, so that really shouldn’t be of any worry.
In general, international applicants should apply in R1 and R2 unless they have a VERY stellar profile. Add on that you will be applying with a GMAT Waiver and that kind of hampers your profile. I would suggest applying R1 before their September Guaranteed Interview deadline.
