Good point! Thank you for the reminder.

Great job BB!
I should add that Rice (Jones) also gives waivers to attendees of virtual admissions events). Also, it appears that MIT might be providing waivers for attendance at the upcoming diversity week (virtual) starting tomorrow, but that remains to be confirmed.

I recently received a GMAT Focus score of 665 and currently have 2 years of work experience, which will increase to 3 years by July 2025. I am looking to apply to MBA programs in the US and would appreciate recommendations for schools where my profile would be a strong fit. While I understand top 10 schools may be more competitive, I am particularly interested in programs ranked within the top 15-30 that value a combination of work experience, leadership, and academics. Thank you for your guidance!

Please, you need to stop spamming multiple groups with this comment. Someone on the Michigan Ross forum already gave you their suggestion and you could do further research by checking out the various schools’ websites to learn more about their programmes and how they suit your preferences. You’ve posted this comment on more than 17 groups already. Kindly exercise some restraint.

How do you get a fee waiver?
Would this count

Yes it would. Virtual roundtables count as recruiting events which make attendees eligible for fee waivers. At the session, be sure to reconfirm this from Brad or Jim (AdCom members who usually moderate the sessions).

What is the deadline to submit our official test scores to the school? Should it be before the application deadline?

Aren't interview invites rolled out after the deadline?

It appears that some schools tend to commence application reviews even before the deadline, especially those with smaller class sizes.
Is Full-Time +Flex MBA program is the flagship full time MBA program? Don’t they have a simple ’Full time MBA’ like other B schools?

It’s not an issue. Their portal is similar to USC Marshall’s, so as long as you submitted before the R1 deadline, your application will be considered in R1.
JimmyJohnson
Oh! Interesting, so it is basically the final deadline is April 15 and that's the only one they publish?
