Hello my friend—you have SUCH great experience. Great exposure internationally, some great work experience…only that low GMAT! L Is there any way AT ALL to retake the test, and still get some R1 apps out this year? THAT would be our goal of course—even if you only apply to some lower-ranked schools R1 (even with that lower GMAT) you SHOULD take advantage of R1 given your location in and around China. Now, once you’ve gotten some apps submitted R1, and you WILL improve your GMAT score ASAP, then you can apply to more places R2. But again, ideally, you would nail R1 w a higher GMAT score. I mean gosh you have three months—so do it all my friend! J

Hi Jon,

Your advice sounds logic and strategic. Thanks very much!

But I do have a question. When you talk about some lower ranked schools, is there any recommendations based on your experiences and looking at my overall package.

Also it sounds like you do believe that applying in R1 has more advantages compared to R2. Can you further elaborate on that. I was told that there is smaller pool of students apply for R1 but has a stronger and narrower quality also. In R2, the quality of applicant is broader compared to those in R1. So overall speaking, there is no differences in applying R1 or R2, although of course R3 would be a different story. Can you share your perspective on this?

Thanks!

Sure, happy to offer up some thoughts. Here’s what happens—for international students especially, alllll of the international slots get filled early. Not necessarily R1, but if a TON of wildly qualified international students apply in R1, then the schools will…accept them. So for our friends in China especially, we STRONGLY recommend to get as many apps in for R1 as possible. There IS a difference—if YOU put together a great app in R1, and a great app in R2, your chances are better of getting in on R1. THAT is the truth. Hope this helps!

Thanks Jon. Not sure it will make a significant difference taking a GMAT in the next two months' time with other application materials to prepare also. It would be a bet but like you said should be the goal also :-)
