Hi,

 

If you’re looking at early September deadlines and feeling like you’re running out of time, take a deep breath. Here is the good news: Your Round 1 strategy is far from over.

 

A common myth among applicants is that every top business school closes its Round 1 window in the first week of September. In reality, a large number of top-ranked global MBA programs have extended Round 1 deadlines stretching late into September and October.

 

You don’t need to settle, rush a half-finished application, or push all your target schools to Round 2.  Join Jenifer Turtschanow and Priyanka Khandelwal for our next live Coffee Chat, where we’ll map out how to capitalize on late Round 1 cutoffs.
