Hi Admissionado,
I am really struggling with deciding which stage I should apply to Said. While I am definitely very interested in Said and want to give myself the best possible shot at getting in AND getting a scholarship, if I apply for their Stage 2 (October 30th) deadline, I'll get an answer before my applications are even in to the US schools I'm considering, which means I would have to make a decision without knowing what my other options are.
I'm trying to understand how much a difference Stage 2 versus Stage 3 would make?
For background, my profile (which I've posted previously for evaluation) is:
GMAT: 710 (V42, Q45, 6 AWA, 5 IR) and 670 (V44, Q37, 6AWA, 7 IR). Considering taking an intensive quant course and re-taking the GMAT in November for the later applications.
Work experience: 7 years in international development and corporate social responsibility, with regular promotions, currently managing a team of 17 across 5 countries.
Extracurriculars: Undergraduate: Delta Phi Epsilon Professional Foreign Service Sorority (Community Service Chair). Post-Bachelor's: Ragnar running relay team captain 2016 & 2017, court appointed special advocate (for foster children) 2014, co-host a women's discussion club, finance working group at my job and part time research assistant on topics related to rescue amid atrocities including sexual violence.
Post-MBA goals: Sustainable and socially responsible business practices
Target Schools: Oxford 1+1, Duke dual MBA/MEM, Yale dual MBA/MSc, Stanford, Harvard
Education: George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs, GPA 3.48. Did poorly in econ. Re-took macroeconomics earlier this year at a local community college and got an A. Took a graduate level course in undergrad and got an A.
Demographics: US citizen and resident, female, white.
Thank you!

Hi jbanan,
For the non-US MBA programs where there are 4 rounds/stages, your chances when applying in stage 3 is often almost as good as stage 2. It's the last round that you want to avoid. My recommendation is that if Said is your first choice and your application will be ready by the stage 2 deadline (best to apply when ready even if it's a later stage), then you should go ahead and submit it to maximize your chances. If it's an option, you could also accept and put down a deposit and if you decide to attend another program, you will simply forfeit the deposit.
If Said is not your first choice and you don't want to potentially lose a deposit, then I would go ahead and apply in Stage 3 so you would have decisions from all the schools before needing to make a choice.
Best,
Cindy
