ROUND ONE VERSUS ROUND TWO STRATEGY
Okay gang. Today, I want to shake things up a bit. Keep things interesting,
if we can.
Let's talk about savvy Round 1 strategy.
As we all know, there is a slight advantage associated with applying during
Round 1. in light of this, many applicants fall into a somewhat common trap:
they apply to all their favorite schools first. They batch all their top
programs in Round One. After all, we are more likely to get in! : )
This is a bad idea, gang. Why? Well...let's get into it.
First of all, your first submitted app will NOT be your best. I dont care
how hard you try, or how much you trust your consultant. You will get better
as you go, I assure you.
Secondly, it is just such a risky proposition. Instead, we would prefer that
you take advantage of Round 1 by applying to some SAFER schools during Round
1 as well. That way, you are that much more likely to get in! We like
options, and we like actions that mitigate our risk.
That is why we recommend that applicants apply to a good mix of programs
during Round 1--both stretch programs, and safer ones. Be smart gang, and
mitigate your risk.
Hope this makes sense, my friends. And keep in touch.
