Hello All!,
I am new to the Forum and have a question for you all.
I have recently started studying for the GMAT and don't have a reasonable amount of time to get everything together for the January application deadlines. So I planned on taking it end of Jan early Feb to give myself more study time. There is a Round 3 deadline in April for most of the Schools I would like to apply to (CBS, NYU, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Haas, Anderson).
I know you need to stand out in the last round so I'm obviously not going to apply unless I score 700+ on the GMAT (easier said than done) and I feel my resume is pretty strong. I have been working in Corporate Finance for 5 years (mostly FP&A but also Stress Testing & 2 promotions) in 2 large S&P 500 companies in NYC, Tokyo, & San Diego.
So my question is....is it worth it to apply in Round 3? I know it probably has a lower acceptance rate in Round 3 but is it impossible? Does anyone know the acceptance rate for Round 3 deadlines?
I know I could always wait another year and apply Round 1 next year but in my current situation starting school in Fall of 2019 would be more than ideal.

Hi. This is a common question and you can search for it. Even our simliar topics BOT found a few similar discussions. In general R3 is a weird round. By that time 80-90% of the programs are probably filled and this is just an opportunity for some late bloomers or those who somehow missed the first few rounds. For the top programs, it is barely anything. At the same time, they will take unique and strong candidates. It is definitely POSSIBLE but ODDS are against R3 applicants.
You can go to the decision tracker and open a school you are interested in - e.g. Ross and see it in 2017 (Class of 2020).
R1 - 69 Admitted
R2 - 62 Admitted
R3 - 1 Admitted

For McCombs:
R1: 55
R2: 38
R3: 0

Hi, u4gotboutdray01 I would strongly advise against it - at that point, they are just looking to round out the class with highly diverse candidates or sometimes, candidates with very, very high GMAT scores to bump up their average (bc ranking.)
