Round 3 Application

论坛中有申请第三轮被录取的么？我在考虑Chicago GSB。或者有别的什么学校可能性比较大？

第三轮显而易见非常难。如果一定想试试，有什么好的建议么？

我写过一点点。

NYU and UC Berkeley, no good advice, but I think for these two, they really do not care about rounds. So round three will have a fair chance...

RGNRGN,

you mean it is not good to apply round 3 for NYU? How about Columbia?

rgnrgn

Sorry for the confusion, I was saying that you might want to apply NYU or UCB for round three. Anyway, their deadlines are very close now. I don't think Columbia's round three is still open, but you might apply for their winter admission.

Pumpkin, I have read your article.  很有启发，谢谢。就是比较疑惑，你这么认真准备第三轮，后来却没有选择它。

rgnrgn，NYU原本我是打算在第二轮申请的。可是那段时间网络彻底坏了，他家的essay又特别需要对school有比较多的研究的，于是作罢。第三轮的确值得考虑么？我看过他们网页上highly encourage国际学生在12/1第一轮之前申请呢。UC Berkeley我还从来没有看过，听说文章数量满多的。我会再仔细想想这两所学校，谢谢！

三月份就是Round 3的高峰了。我的背景不算很特殊，分数也不高的，所以要脱颖而出的确有些烦呢。今年的申请人又是特别多，所以第三轮的录取率真的很难说哎。

Here is my understanding of NYU and UCB. Both of these two schools have very big part-time MBA programs. And they have quite some students switch from part-time to full-time or from full-time to part-time, so I assume they are flexible in terms of the capacity. Other business schools may have capacity limitation on round three while these two may not. Just my two cents. You can also try Columbia for winter admission.

Yes your points are highly reasonable!  I shall think about it.

Actually I submitted the application to Columbia on 1 Mar, the final deadline for international applicants.

Btw, my understanding is, if someone would apply for Columbia's Jan programme, he must show overwhelming reasons on why a Jan programme is more suitable for him.
