Re: Profile Evaluation Request [#permalink]
I agree; I think I'm going to apply this Fall, and if I don't get in, I'll just apply next year. Thankfully, the letters of recommendation and essays shouldn't be an issue, but I'll be sure to focus most of my efforts on them.

Thanks again!

If you can get your MBA paid if you apply now and go this Fall, I say go ahead and apply. I do believe that you will do better on your acceptances with more work experience under your belt, but if you do not get in this year you can always apply the following year again. Business school is expensive and the scholarship sounds like an enticing opportunity.

Deferring, from my experience, differs school to school.

The Asian/Female mix in my opinion is neither an advantage or disadvantage, but either way does not matter because you can not change it. Focus on what you can change, like maximizing your letters of recommendation, and making your essays as compelling as possible.

Good luck on your journey.
