Is Booth Receptive to Re-applicants?
Most of the top MBA programs are receptive to re-applicants if a re-applicant makes certain to correct the perceived weakness(es) in their prior application. We have written a long article that discusses 7 Best Practices for Re-applicants, located here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/7-best-practices-for-reapplicants-214756.html
But what specifically about Booth?
Some top business schools are rumored to be less receptive to re-applicants than others. In our experience, Booth is receptive to re-applicants as long as you fix the prior shortcomings of your candidacy or application. But within this receptiveness, they are still weeding out candidates strongly based on whether you “fit” with the Booth culture and curriculum.
We have seen candidates go from rejection with no interview to admission the very next year – from all sorts of backgrounds, including American, African, East Asian and European. In most cases, these candidates did show a great fit with the Booth culture and curriculum. Most were mainstream businesspersons or had an interest in finance. They had demonstrated leadership and a commitment to bringing excellence to their work, but they had not necessarily showcased this well in their unsuccessful first applications. We helped these candidates to identify the problems of their candidacy or application and address them, which helped them gain admission on a second try.
Therefore, if you had a solid overall application but one flat recommendation, you need to reapply with a stellar application – including the essays – and stellar recommendations. If your GPA is solid but you applied with a less-than-ideal GMAT score, say around 640, you should strive to secure a much higher score, ideally in the 700s. If you did not put enough effort into your essay and chose the wrong content for the sole essay, but otherwise your credentials are competitive, you need to present a new application that shows clearly a great deal of thought in preparation and excellent essay content.
Success is possible!
