Hi,
I interviewed with HBS this year and was wailtisted post interview. HBS is definitely my number 1 choice and dream school. I thinking about not going to Wharton this year and just reapply to HBS next year, either with a new job or same job but in a different country/ continent. Since I was waitlisted R1 and released in R2, I think applying R1 next year is too soon, hence I will be applying R2, or Jan 2020.
Do you think this makes sense? Is 9 months too soon for reapplication? Does this warrant enough change/ improvement for adcom to consider my application? Since I was waitlisted in R1, I assume nothing was very wrong with my application, and that it just came down to luck (HBS rounding their class via their different metrics). I was thinking if I can signify growth in my career (my promotion is coming up), risk in moving to a new environment, and that I will be placed in a different cohort from last year, that might warrant me trying for another year.
What you think?

I think that it gets risky to start changing jobs unless that job really better positions you for your post MBA goal. You don't say what your GMAT is-- but potentially if you had it just a little higher maybe that would solve it. It could be that simple. I also think that depending on your goals, it is really hard to say turn down Wharton just to wait for HBS which may or may not follow. Do you really want to put your professional life on hold? Many applicants would be jumping for joy for a Wharton admit-- so I'm not sure I follow your logic here-- but it is your life and you do get to make the rules for you. If you are determined to be HBS or bust-- I suggest you look into our Ding review package as then we help you assess what to do next to increase your odds-- it is a thorough review of your application-- if you want Stratus to do that for you-- please reach out to us at this link: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/consult/

My GMAT is 720 and GPA is 3.6 at a top school - which are not stellar but a lot of students at HBS have the same stats? I was also told HBS does not care as much about GMAT and it was probably not the GMAT that got me waitlisted and turned down.
Maybe not changing jobs, but how about transferring to an international office with the same employer?
