Hello everyone gmatclub
I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter; I was working on round 2 deadlines for several schools mostly Ivy, however I was was faced with a life threatening situation in my family (all medical reports are available) hence was not able to finish my applications on time, in addition to out of hand political turmoil that affected the bank i work in
My plan now is to try at round 3 i still have to take my GMAT exam (it was deferred due to the above circumstances), I took the PTE (score 87).
A little background on me: I am from Jordan 30 turning 31 in March, 8 years experience in Banking (FM & ALM) , CFA level 3 candidate.
I appreciate your feedback on the above, what do you recommend, any ideas,tips etc that might help my application (i dont think i can afford to delay another year)
Also I was working primarily on HBS but as you know they dropped R3, do you think i should email them and explain the above or just forget about it and look at other schools ? (i know its a dumb question
)
Cheers

hi ferrisjo!
Just wanted to say that i'm almost in the same situation,couldn't make it to apply for my desired schools in the second round.
I'm also from a very underrepresented country and have a unique non-traditional background + Interesting work experience as a founder and manager,although i'm not very happy about my academics.
It's difficult to get admitted in R3 not only because you must have a very good profile but also because you're an international student and admission committees are well aware of the lengthy process of getting a US Visa.
as far as i know,Some schools like booth encourage international applicants to apply in round 3 as well and clearly state that there is enough time to get the visa too.
however i'm still not sure if i should go for it and apply in R3.
BTW,forget about HBS and making a call for round 3,its no joke!even if you had a 780 GMAT Score and were applying in R1,your chances of getting in HBS was below average.
its not an easy task to get into a top school at all,even getting into a top 25 needs considerable hard work and persistence,no matter how unique you think you are and how great your GMAT score is!
everyone here will tell you that you have to take the application process as serious as you can!
ok i hope someone can help us with some clear answers brother
