Genuine question:

I am a consultant at a T2 in the Middle East, and got accepted into CBS and Booth with $$. I applied to H/W but got rejected with no interview.

I want to use the MBA to explore the US market; however, I am wondering if it’s worth postponing the MBA and reapplying to H/W next year given my profile

CBS is great and was one of my top choices but I’ve seen people with similar profiles got accepted into W, and I can’t stop thinking that next year I would have a stronger profile

I’d take what you have.
1) you didn’t get interviews so the chances of getting acceptances next time is not great.
2) you got $$ this time. Not guaranteed to get the same next time
3) you might be putting your life on hold for a year to reapply. I found myself really unproductive at work while I was applying. I’d want to cap that to one year

There was an increase in MBA applications this year so you may be better off applying again next year R1 for H/W

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
