Round 1 or Round 2? - 工管

The Tuesday Q&A: Round 1 or Round 2?
QUESTION:
My Round 1 deadline is in two days but there is NO way Iˆd be putting my
best foot forward by submitting. I know I can do better, but I also wanna hit
this deadline. What do I do?

ANSWER:
Now, we all know that Round 1 is better than Round 2, no matter what adcoms
tell ya. And along those lines, Early Decision is better than Round 1, no
matter what admissions people say.

BUT.

This is NEVER an excuse to submit a less-than-perfect application! What do I
mean? Well, letˆs say that we have two choices: (1) a B- application in
Round One, versus (2) an A+ application in Round 2. To us, folks, this is a
no brainer. Submit in Round 2! Round 1 is important, but NEVER more important
than putting your best foot forward.

If you canˆt make Round 1… so be it! That is NOT the end of the world. Use
the extra time making your apps even better. After all, Round 2 exists for a
reason. B-schools accept plenty of folks at this stage of the game.

At the end of the day, itˆs better to submit a GREAT application than one
thatˆs second-rate… even if itˆs R2.

Good luck out there!
