Hi
bp2013,
Thank you for your post and for sharing your profile. Since both universities have rolling review, I recommend applying early, especially if your profile falls on the lower end of the spectrum from a quantitative aspect (August would probably be best). I would recommend you review closely the programs you are seeking to apply to. For example, Booth admits students 4-times per year for evening MBA while only twice a year for the weekend program.
I hope this helps. If you are interested to continue the conversation, feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation (contact details in signature).
Good luck!

I'm getting mixed answers on this one. I'm looking to apply to a couple part tie programs (Booth, Kellogg). Both schools are a bit of a stretch for me, so I want to maximize my chances. For the evening/weekend programs that start in winter, the deadline is October 5.
For someone that is likely among the lower end of applicants, does applying earlier make a difference? I'm told that they have different "buckets" to fill, and my chances of being accepted are better if I apply early, rather than close to the deadline, but other say this isn't the case. Does this apply for part time programs? Both schools advised they have a rolling review, where applications are reviewed within 4-6 weeks of when you apply.
If early is better, then how early is early? Should I try to apply before July? August? September? Trying to plan in case I need to re-take the GMAT.
Thanks!
