COVID-19 impact on applications [#permalink] New post   20 May 2020, 11:46
Hello everyone,
I am a male Indian student aspiring for the MiM and MiF programmes in the nearby future. I am planning to apply this autumn (class 2021 intake). I have two queries for everyone:-

A) Will the competition for these programmes increase due to the many students opting for deferral and the increased applications for these programmes?

B)Since all the test centers are currently closed, I am waiting for them to re-open as online GMAT seems too troublesome due to the whiteboard and the technical
requirements. How long should I wait so that I can apply with a proper application in the round 1?

A) The competition for Fall 2021 intake will definitely increase. Say 20% of Fall 2020 intake students opt for deferral then there will be approx. 20% fewer places, unless schools can accommodate increased intake for Fall 2021. Also some are postponing their plans for next year.

B) You can wait for Test Centers to open depending on the situation in your city and your target school deadlines. Also practise using Whiteboard just as a back up.
