All other schools????? [#permalink] New post   24 Oct 2007, 06:29
Was just working on completing my application to Duke and noticed this question-

Please list all other MBA programs to which you are applying:

Are guys honest with this? Or is it fine to just pick and choose from the list of schools?


Also- how to answer this question if it comes up in an interview?

I think we all know why they ask this but its still very unfair. If you are applying to specific schools with very strong reps in one field then it shows you really put thought into it. If you are applying to case study schools or small schools it shows you know what you are really looking for. Now if you apply to schools with no rhyme or reason and just on rank or rep then chances are it wont look good on you.

It reallys sucks if you are a top candidate and you are applying to a bunch of schools and thats your safety school...they may realize that and WL so you dont ruin their yield.

So Should we answer or not?, in the application section, I am not sure if it is mandatory and I prefer to leave it blank until unless it comes up in the interview...

Berkeley asks the question, but it's optional, so I left it blank.

If they ask during the interview, I'll probably answer that I'm looking for good entrepreneurship schools with collaborative students, and then list the schools I'm applying to.
