ARINGO · Answer

So, I can start with a question and answer
Will schools be accepting GMAT-waivers this year due to COVID?

The answer is, SOME!
You can see the full list here: https://www.aringo.com/more-top-mba-pro ... t-waivers/

Just to set expectations: a 730 candidate beats a no-GMAT candidate… so your profile has to be “good” in order for this to work…

I am having 10 Years of Experience and Working as a buyer in Supply chain management also I am 34 years old although I am Engineering graduate. Please let me know which school I should consider according to my profile.

ARINGO · Answer

OK, I like asking questions and answering them, so I will continue 😊

Round1 vs. Round2?

There is a misconception regarding R1 vs. R2. To be honest, most schools keep the same number of places in R1 and in R2 and the chances are kind of similar. What is the best? Well 
R1 is better in terms of chances ( a bit) and in terms of project management (a lot) – you will know in November what is happening with you, and should you target any R2 schools.

BUT, R2 beats R1 any day, if your R1 application is not maximized. For example, your chances are higher, in any school, in R2, if your GMAT is 20 points higher, or your essays are better

Sajjad1994  , I have asked you did not reply

ARINGO · Answer

So, if you have 10 years of experience -
So you can either target schools that specialize in supply chain management.
See the list here:https://www.aringo.com/mba-supply-chain-management-specialization/

OR, as you are “old” (age is less important, but 10 years of experience is), then you can target schools that are looking for experienced candidates,

Hope this helps!

Is a month enough to start and submit applications for round 1?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

saur028 , It is answered now

saur028 · Answer

Sajjad1994  , yes thank you

asinha09 · Answer

also, what is the difference between early action round and other rounds?

ARINGO · Answer

We ideally like to work with our candidates around 3 months on ~5 applications...
Can it be done in a month. f course. also in a week. But it depends on how many schools you will be applying to, how good your writing style and school research is , how responsive are your referees and how long the applications are (different schools, different requirements)

asinha09 · Answer

Rotman’s early action round for instance. any difference between R1 and early action?

oh..Okay.

Thanks for the answer!

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Everyone, We have around 40 more minutes left in this chat session. Ask your questions quickly

asinha09 · Answer

any information on the early action round question?

ARINGO · Answer

Early action ads a lot. it tells the school "I really want to come to your school, it is my number one priority"
SO, YES, there is an advantage in applying early action to schools that have this...

asinha09 · Answer

Okay. Thanks for the answer!

sierra1 · Answer

Thanks for doing this Shimri. I also saw some of your Youtube videos.

can you explain why a candidate should use your services. it is very expensive...

saur028 · Answer

Hi I have checked but this list contain majority of USA schools . Can you tell some more about European
 Schools

ARINGO · Answer

Thanks sierra1 Of course you do not have to use our or anyone else’s services! BUT, we do work in this. and have worked with many candidates that we helped get into the best business schools. Whatever you can do alone, we can upgrade it to a "bit" better. that "bit" can make the difference between rejection or acceptance to the best business schools in the world... it is super competitive out there... BUT... I head our strategy team... Jen, our CEO is a much better salesperson that me... Anyways, for a deeper profile analysis: Please send me your CV, GMAT score and slipt, the school wish list and any additional information to ShimriW@ARINGO.com and we can take it from there Hi, yes, you can apply to any "regular" MBA program in Europe, if you have less than 12 years of experience (so, LBS, INSEAD, HEC, IESE etc.) LBS Sloan program is the only dedicated program for "seniors" (I think their average age is 38...)
