wow, congrats Mikus! 3/3 at H/S/W is quite an accomplishment! I don't think anyone got that last year, did they?

very nice, Mikus! Congratulations!
I have added the interview invites status on the first page. Will be good to see the number of invites for Stanford. (TL - hope that's alright with you..)

You need to apply to W and have the tri-fecta to be recognized. Although if you get admitted to both, I think you'll do what no GMATClubber has ever done before. egy wrote: I'm 2/2 on H/S.. the only two i applied to.

If someone gets into H and S, or H/S/W, does that automatically mean 100 kudos and mod status?

I honestly don't think I'd get into W. I don't think W and I have a good fit. agold wrote: You need to apply to W and have the tri-fecta to be recognized.

Getting into both would be sick. Yeah I have to agree on HBS... my class visit was amazing. I was very impressed with the level of discussion that took place.

Would rather not comment on work experience until after decisions go out, one way or another. but it's basically limited in number of years, though excellent in scale, scope and impact. foodstamp wrote: What is your work experience like egy?

I'm wondering what to do with the additional info section of the application. It says not to use it for additional essays. Do they just mean don't use it to answer one of the essay topics? I want to use it to discuss some aspect not captured in my applicant essays. Is that kosher?

liubhs02 - I think that depends on what you want to discuss. It is usually appropriate to discuss something that will give the adcom a clearer picture of you. However, as they mention, do not use this as a way to include another essay (from Stanford's list of topics) or even an essay from another school. Someone at the information session asked about how they can talk about course work they have taken that they don't have transcripts for and the adcom asked them to use the additional information section. In my case I chose to use the additional section to discuss some of the job changes I had made since the application section did not provide me enough space to do so in a proper manner. I haven't received an invite - so take this info as you will. In the four essays allowed, ideally your examples should include all aspects of your life that are important to you, but if there is something else equally important that you want the adcoms to know about, that is relevant to your candidacy and to your post MBA goals, I don't see why you cannot include it in the additional information section. (terry or kry or this year's superstars - please chime in )
