This may sound like throwing the towel before the fight but I am having grave doubts about whether I should apply full time to Haas at all. I mean the competition is so intense.
My profile has 1 big negative (age 34) and other parts are ok not so great. EC's are minimal...don't know how much EC's matter to Haas. What matters most to Haas, anyways?
Back to my point, chances are better for the Part Time program, aren't they?
R3 is Jan 30 and I am in 2 minds...!!!
age is not a big negative for Haas. There are quite a few classmates who are over 34 in the class (probably more than many other larger schools). Of course, it's what you've done in your 12 years of WE that matters a lot. ECs are great to show leadership, teamwork, and your involvement with things other than work, but is not necessary. There really is no answer to "what matters most to Haas?", it really is dependent on each candidate.
Part time is less selective based on the numbers, but I don't know enough about that program to make a judgement on if it's "easier" or not.
Good luck with your decision!
