MBA 2020 Deadline for International students

Question

Hello,

Is Round 3 open for international students? I mean being an international student can I apply in Round 3 for Top Universities in the US?
If yes, what are the chances of getting admitted. I read online that most top universities admit only 10% of the students in Round 3 and that too if the candidate profile is exceptional. Are there any universities who have a higher admission percentage?

Thanks

Hi,

Round 3 is not recommenced for international students because there might be many cases when you wont get VISA on time. So it is preferred for an international student to get done with admissions by round 2.

Thanks

Hi,
BB has answered your question on the chat. Every one would recommend to avoid R3 for international students. The chances will be very tough and moreover tough for taking a visa if you already got an admit. You can apply next year in R1 which will give you enough time to make your overall profile stronger.

What is the disparity of odds between round2 and 3 for an international student except for the delay in the visa procedure?

Leadership · Answer

The number of seats left will be less. People who consider your targeted (priority choice) school as a safe school will target in later rounds. Obviously, you will have more competition. Assuming that, your profile is stretch/average and others have an impressive profile.

Just for an example: If your stretch/practical schools is XXX. Then you will apply to XXX in R1 and if things do not work out, you will move to safe school YYY in R2/R3. For some people, YYY will be stretch school and you will more chances there.

To conclude, if you think your overall profile is strong as compared to avg. class of the school, then you can go ahead and apply.
