Anyone who can help me practice case interviews - I have an interview lined up this Friday and Monday. And I really reallly need this one. Would highly appreciate any leads. (P.S. I have prior experience with BCG (1 yr) but it was more on the backend. Now I’m interviewing for a boutique consultancy firm.)

Good luck!!!! Hopefully you have gotten some prep. It takes weeks to prep for MBB interviews and go through some of them... and hopefully your background helps

Hi, I’m from India. I completed my bachelors in business management with finance concentrations. I have a decade experince in various industries in CRM. I’m applying for R3 MBA in USA, but unable to prepare gmat because of Eye surgery. Any suggestions or courses that I can do to make my profile outstanding and that will help me with GMAT waiver? I’m applying to Cornell, Tuck, Dander, Mcdonough, Mccombs. Any other universities that I can target for consulting where the acceptance rate is good? Your insights are appreciated! happy new year to everyone here, keep smiling

Hi  Syed1234 ,

It's the season of deadlines! When it comes to application rounds, as an international student, it's always wise to submit applications in Round 1 and Round 2. Your chances of acceptance are higher.

Between 2014 and 2018, an analysis by the popular MBA forum  GMAT Club  shows only a slight variation in acceptance rates at top US MBA schools between Rounds 1 and 2. It revealed a slight increase in acceptances for international students in Round 2.

However, we need to also understand the nuances of your profile as opposed to the cohort applying. We recommend you  schedule a complimentary profile discussion and audit call  with our experienced MBA consultants who can review your profile and help you build a roadmap ahead.
