Anyone have any luck with R3 apps at US schools? I applied to two, one among HSW, the other in T15 as a “safety” but got waitlisted from both (so much for safety lol). My stats are pretty competitive (740 GMAT, 3.7 GPA, promotion and career awards, good recommendations, unique extra curricular)

I was under the impression that R3 is historically the most competitive round and traditionally strong profiles are better suited to R1 and R2

Yep definitely accurate from what I’ve read as well. Was seeing if there were any other data points of success stories

R3 at top schools is for stellar candidates who happened to find themselves in a place and time when they would decide to go to business school.

Average (for top schools) applicants like you don’t get in in R3.

As data points, I got Kellogg WL and Sloan ding this R3 cycle. Still waiting on Booth decision after interview. 730 GMAT and 3.56 GPA, close to 10 YOE, decent ECs

1. HBS doesn’t have a round 3.
2. I have friends who got lucky in 2020 with COVID concerns that admits wouldn’t matriculate.
3. Any school in R3 is not a safety school because the class is largely already filled.

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
