Hello,
I applied for several MBA programs last year and did not get an invite to interview for any of them. I am really worried to re-apply as I feel that all the effort and time I expend will be of no use. I have read so many views online that conflict and would like to know what to do. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to know the following:
1. Will any schools look at me attractively since I do not have any new updates or changes in my life?
2. Do I apply to the same schools? Or choose different programs?
3. Should I wait a few years before re-applying?
My basics are:
Female
GMAT - 740
GPA undergrad - 3.86/4
Career: 4 years in the finance industry
ST Goals: Investment Banking
LT Goals: Start hedge fund
Please advise.

Hey Marlene,
You have an impressive profile at a glance, so at a glance my inclination is that you are having issues communicating your story and personalizing it for the schools you applying to. Now to your specific questions:
1. Will any schools look at me attractively since I do not have any new updates or changes in my life?
-Typically when you re-apply there is an expectation from admissions that you have grown and developed from the last application submitted. Admissions will expect you to offer growth and new information via a higher GMAT score, additional coursework, refined career focus, re-developed essays, etc. Your prior numbers were strong so unless you are offering up improvements in your essays writing and content your candidacy will remain at a crossroads
2. Do I apply to the same schools? Or choose different programs?
-I would apply to the schools that you are the best fit for your goals, so if there are new schools then that would be appropriate
3. Should I wait a few years before re-applying?
-I would wait until you feel the time is right, applying to b-school is a big decisions so really thing about the type of growth you expect to receive in the future. If the growth you'd receive is sizable and would set you up to be a better candidate and allow you to make the most of b-school then consider that. My hunch is that it is more of a story or perception issue with you, so really look at your applications from last year and be honest with yourself.
Hope this helps!

Marlene,
With your 740 and strong GPA you should have done better. Chances are your execution (essays, reco letters) was not what it should have been. So you may not necessarily need an improved profile if you execute better this year. Assuming that you're in your mid-20s you need not wait any longer. You may have aimed too high and cast too narrow a net last year so this year you may want to apply to some of the same schools but also add a few more higher-optimism schools. I would be glad to give you additional feedback if you send me your resume and school list.
