I love your sly response :lol: Accurate, as usual, but vague as to the specifics. Perhaps you should try politics. I'm definitely with you of course. They don't have any incentive to send any additional money to those already fully committed, versus those on the fence (or at least pretending they are on the fence). Although, no doubt your GMAT would certainly help the class average (which IMHO is easier to manipulate than average GPA...look at Carlson from last year with their small class size and the really high GMAT average).

Cheers,
Tom

Haha, you crack me up Tom! fyi to all, Tom has met me so he knows.

Yea that GMAT thing is a big deal at smaller schools. When I first started applying I was talking to several admissions consultants via their "free pitch session" one kept saying "with your GPA you gotta apply to a school that is willing and able to eat that number"

The opposite of that is why I targeted Kelley. Perhaps it is purely the GMAT thats getting the $$$.

I would disagree with that.. I have a 720 GMAT but no $$.

I'm planning to buy the the Asus U41JF-A1 which according to PC-MAG "is the most well-balanced mainstream laptop, combining excellent power with all-day battery life." You can also check pcmag.com for many more reviews.

I am not applying to Kelley until next year (2012); however I am attending an on campus event this November. Would it be in my best interest to interview this November?
