Should I pursue an MBA from a Tier 2 school

You can use the filters in the decision tracker to get the admit/ding results for whatever school you’re interested in. It is all at your finger tips

It would be helpful to understand also the absolute numbers. Is there a round two volume much less than around one?

It is also possible that people applying around to have also applied in around one and that experience gained round one may also help and round two. Goes along with my strategy of applying in both rounds

ArtVandaley, Same as BB said. You can extract any information using decision tracker filters.

Gone are the days when we used to spend hours and hours to extract application records from the database, sorting them by year, school, nationality, GMAT, industry, etc, etc, and then calculating acceptance rates; With new tracker filters, now it all happens in a handful of clicks.

Narenn & bb,

I was not aware of this. Thank you very much

If you can post the data sorted by schools, it would be really helpful while applying.

Thank you either way

If it is a possibility, you should definitely try taking the GMAT again. A higher score, like the one you mentioned, would definitely increase your chances at a tier 1 business school admit by making your profile more competitive with respect to the applicant pool.
However, I have seen applicants, with a score slightly lower than yours, crack top schools like Wharton. It is a testament to what simply the narration of your story can do for your profile. The other stats of your profile, that you provided, are above the averages at top school. Like your work-experience is more than the average work experience of a top MBA program’s class, which is generally 3-6 years.
You must focus on your goals though. Make them more specific by finding out which top schools have recruiters from your target firms. You can also choose a target school and then figure out which of its top recruiting firms to fit your goals story. Your post-MBA employability is a major concern with business schools so, affirming them that you have a plan for that could help you a lot.
Also, I would suggest applying to a tier-one school regardless of your GMAT score. Most MBA applicants should try for a reach school. A school that you lie below the averages of but a good profile could get you in.
