European schools are less interested in the quantitative qualifications such as gmat & gpa, but they are much more interested in the experience.

I think you have a chance, but with more work experience your chances would increase significantly.

By the way we are still waiting for the documents, I do not know whatever they are, but we are waiting. While we are waitng deadlines for other schools are passing away.

DelPiero and Hghg,

How did you two manage to get such a fast response? It says on the SDA MBA website that it take 12 weeks for the adcom to take a decision on an application. Taking into consideration the fact that the earliest that you guys could have applied was in the first week of September when the applications opened that is a response around 8 weeks in advance.

Thanks! :)

I guess, I am one of the earliest applicants :)

And also I guess, applying so early gives you opportunity of getting a fast response :)

This is for the information of all R3 as well as European school applicants.

Admissanado experts - Jon and Lauren - conducted Q&A chat in GMATCLUB chat room few days back in which they offered tips and guidance to prospective R3 & European school applicants.
I have updated the first post with the transcript of this chat. Interested members can download this transcript from there.

Good luck to everyone applying and have a nice weekend. :)

Thank You!
