Hi Paul,

Thanks for your advice. As an FYI, I retook TOEFL iBT and scored 110. So my TOEFL score would not get me in trouble.

I decided to apply to the Wharton and MIT Sloan by early January and Columbia and Haas by mid-to-late January. Following your advice, I decided to apply to HBS as well.

However, if I push hard to complete my HBS application by Jan 3, I will be spreading myself too thin. I do not want to drop the quality of my applications across the board. As such, I am considering applying to the HBS in Round 3.

I've heard some people saying it is almost impossible to get in to the HBS in Round 3 as an international student. (They also say Columbia's regular decision is extremely selective.) Do you agree with them?

Thanks in advance.


Regards,

Elektro


Elektro,

I don't have any hard data to point to, but, yes, third round is hard for everybody to get into, and schools generally want international applicants to apply in early rounds because of the visa and financial issues. So "almost impossible" is probably not too far from the truth.

Good luck,

Hi Paul,

I just wanted to let you know that I got admitted to Wharton. Your advice gave me hope, and my dream came true! Also, I must say that your book was an enormous help. It is a must read for anyone preparing to apply to business schools!
