I began to prepare for applications for 9 schools end of Dec to meet the deadlines in early Jan. You can imagine how tight the schulde was. I had to give up Sloan and Yale as I couldn't meet the deadlines. I tried HBS, Cornell, Wharton, Columbia, Stern, Tuck (will be dinged soon), Ross (the only one in middle west, farthest one, 11 hours' ride to Boston;interview done, await further notification), Simon (got admission), Smith (to interview), Tepper (to interview), Darden (interview done, await further notification, the most southern one in terms of location, 9 hours' ride to Boston) and BC (the last one, I did want to give up, but my friend told me I should hold on to try coz it's in Boston). More than 10. It's a waste of money. I don't like to live in big cities though I've been living in big monster cities since I got my first job. That's really an interesting group. On the contrary, I seleceted my schools based on ranking, paying no attention to the location. I have spent seven years in Philly and Boston and have no problem to stay in Boston forever. (though the house price is really killing me.). So I picked up: M7, Cornell, Tuck, Yale, NYU, Michigan, Duke. I didn't consider other top-10 schools at west coast. I finished eight schools in first round (include the ED for Columbia) from Oct. 7 to Nov 9 (Cornell as second round). At my age, this year is my first time and last time to apply for business schools. |
