Re: Yale SOM vs Stern? Which school to apply in R2 [#permalink]

I can have a rather biased opinion on this, but since most of these deadlines are now/next week this really comes down to logistics and preparedness-- which one(s) can you present a strong application for? Do you have your essays written, your letters of recommendation? If you feel rushed, it may be better to hold off to R3/4.

Hi Aerien,

Yes my recommender are ready as they submitted for the same questions in other schools, so that's easy.

Regarding Essay, for Yale, 70% ready, as I had written for other schools and some part of my story, I could reuse. For Stern, questions are same as Wharton, so again most of the things ready. Stern still has 5 days left to apply, so I can submit easily.
Yale is tomorrow only, so I have to decide quickly.

What do you suggest now?

Honestly I'd hesitate reusing a ton of content in this situation. Have you thought about why things didn't work out for you in R1 and ways to improve your app going forward?

With basically 24 hours until the deadline you need to decide if you're ready. A random person on the internet telling you to apply to X or Y isn't going to help you right now. If this were even a month ago, you could feasibly crowdsource. Now, you're either going to be finishing up Yale essays or Stern essays or both. Get writing on the ones you think you have the best shot of turning in a solid application. Again, if you feel better waiting to the next round, that's an option too.

I didn't apply in R1 as I was retaking GMAT. R3 will not work for me as very low acceptance rate plus visa issue. Stern I will definitely apply.

Regarding reusing stuff, is there any harm if the question is similar. Afterall, my background and goals will remain same, isn't it?
