I am applying in Round 1 for One-Year ( Accelerated ) MBA programs at Kellogg, Yale, Duke Fuqua, CMU Tepper & Emory Goizueta.
1. How does my profile stack up against competing pool of applicants and what would be my admission odds?
2. What would be the impact of the VISA uncertainties for Indian students on no.of applicants from India? How can I leverage that?
3. My spouse from IIM Calcutta with 4 years of international consulting experience is also applying in Round 1. Which college/colleges should we focus if dual admit & substantial scholarships are our key priorities?
Thanks in advance. This forum is very helpful for candidates like myself.
