Been thinking of applying fall 2022 instead of 2021, thoughts?
26 yo ORM male, 3.4 UG gpa T30, 730 gmat, by the 2022 timeline I should have one year of SC experience (expected promotion this September). As of right now, 2 years audit experience 2 years consulting experience.

Thinking that one year of SC experience and the less competitive fall 22 cycle might be helpful but my question is it worth waiting a full year? Also I know promotions will be tight this year but just hoping for the best.

You don’t need a 770 to get into M7. Maybe 2021 will end up being really difficult, but this year those stats would have given you a good chance at M7. Of course, a lot comes down to story and recs. To answer your question OP, I would apply when you feel ready and want to go. If that’s 2021, then go for it. Worst case you can reapply in 2022. But you may just get in or you may find that it’s more valuable to go to just go to a T10 or T15 a year earlier than an M7.

22 will be easier, but it doesn’t hurt to apply in 21. Just be prepared if you don’t get into your top choice to explain how you grew in the past year on your 22 applications and explain the situation to your recommenders.

Yes, but they’ll need to write a new rec. Might be easier to get new people.

@OP are you saying you’re thinking of applying to start in either the fall of 2021 or the fall of 2022. I was kinda confused when you said apply in fall “22” that would mean starting in 23’

Applying fall 21 start 22 versus applying fall 22 to start 23.
