Before AdmissionsConsultants was formed, David Petersam, the company's founder, successfully guided several friends and acquaintances through the turbulent admissions process that encircles the nation's elite business schools.

What are these "rounds" that I keep hearing about?

Host: What are these "rounds" that I keep hearing about?

David Petersam: Most business schools use the application round system and what that means is they are going to have set dates by which you need to submit your application then they are going to review all those applications in a group and make their accept-reject wait list decisions on them.

Other schools do not have a round system. It is pretty much first-come first-serve, know as the ruling system. When there is a round system in place, the general rule of thumb is the earlier you apply, the better.
