I’m sure you know the acceptance rates at your schools, so make sure you also have a back-up option ready, but I believe that as long as you provide clarity around why you’ve waited until now to apply, there is a place at a top MBA waiting for you. I wish you the very best of luck with it; please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss further.
