In light of major events like the bursting of the Dot Com Bubble and The Great Financial Crisis causing increases in both application volume and competitiveness at the top 15 U.S. MBA programs, with the COVID-19 Pandemic likely to have a similar effect on MBA applications, what are your thoughts on the application volume and competitiveness in the coming application cycle and future years?
In other words, how would you rank the following application cycles from highest number of applications and competition to the lowest?
• 2021-2022 (Matriculation: 2022)
• 2022-2023 (Matriculation: 2023)
• 2023-2024 (Matriculation: 2024)

TheAspirantMBA:
I suspect the reason there hasn't been much chatter on this topic is because it is really too difficult to determine relative competitiveness more than a year out. Even then, these processes are so dynamic that even within an application season it's hard to tell how things are trending.
This year was a bit of an exception because the pandemic really took off in March/April 2020, which left plenty of time for people to prepare for the upcoming 2020 - 2021 season. We can definitely speculate on trends for 2021 - 2022 (it'll probably be above-average competitive but less so than last year) but that might not be the case, especially if the economy turns around and people are back to work in a pre-pandemic sense - whatever that means.
We always give the same advice to our clients - apply when you are ready. Exogenous factors are by definition out of your control, so focus on putting forward the best application and consider a range of programs (reach, target, safety). In the worse case scenario, consider reapplying if it does not go to your liking.
