Hey, I saw that you applied to school with a waiver. I am a professional with 10 years of work experience in the financial research domain. Could you please let me know what all schools you applied for? I applied for R2 and still haven't received any calls from most of the schools. Kindly help. Thanks.

Hi there, I applied R1 for UNC, Questrom and Rice with waivers. Rejected without interview at UNC. Accepted to Rice and Questrom with scholarships. My experience is not too mainstream- Architecture and then capital works construction management in India and New Zealand. My essays were strong i believe. R1 probably gave me the edge as well.

That's such a great work experience! International that too.. did you take the help of any consultant for essays? I tried everything, but unfortunately, no calls. I just don't know what to do.

At least no calls for me; that is like very, very depressing. Most of the consultants are like, higher work experience, higher age; no one will take you

I didn’t hire an admissions consultant. I have done very little research on MBA admissions, but from what I can see, they are looking for diversity as well as a fit within their programme. I shaped my CV and essays to showcase this. And didn’t aim too high. I was planning on giving GMAT and applying for better schools in R2. But it is a lot of work and I am happy with Rice. Good luck with your applications, surely something will work out.

Ok, can you please give any suggestions for the essays? I am not aiming for M7 or any other top colleges. Just applied to Rice, UNC, SMU, and Boston. I haven't received any calls, not sure what to do next.

It is very very tough to get a call with a waiver. I am just losing hope.
