Should be less competitive in 2-3 years!! Best of luck!

Based on the negative correlation between economic performance and mba app volume, and the decreased uncertainty around pandemic. This year was the worst/most competitive historically, accordingly to most sources

I felt the same way OP. Only applied to Wharton and made it very clear to the adcom 😄 basically gave away my shot at any bit of scholarship in exchange of better shot at getting in. Super happy with my decision. Good luck!

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field?
