Dinged at 9:00am PST. OMG I can't believe it. Thanks for all your support, everyone. I can't wait to see you all at the Stanford GSB Ding weekend, or the Dings at Stanford event in NYC.

Good luck all!

Edit: For those of you who are curious, there was no e-mail, just a status change. I'm going to give them a call about potential consolation prizes/"I poured my heart out in my application and all I got was this stupid t-shirt" apparel.

That Stanny goat didn't eat my app! Oh well, at least the sting of the ding is not as bad when you know it's coming. Thanks to all of you of on this thread for the humor and lighthearted comments. It's a nice reminder not take ourselves too seriously.

I'm debating a Stanford app. Will have to see how stressful the applications are in late summer/early fall. May end up doing Stanford in R2 since HBS will be R1.

Former essays answering this question (from mba books, e.g.) go very deep on personal background, professional experiences/goal, etc thanks to no word count limit. Now that there is a soft cap (~750 words), and that the prompt clearly says not to focus merely on the past accomplishments, do you think it would be risky if I wrote an essay that was entirely personal - very few if any mentions of work experiences/work goals? I figure these can be ascertained from my resume, and from the other essay questions. Wondering if taking an exclusively personal-focused (not professional) approach to this question would be too risky, despite what the adcom suggests about wanting to see personal responses...

I was at an event back in April where they stressed that they really do want to know the true answer to this question, even if it is personal and not professional. However, that said, I would probably include at least a couple sentences to build a bridge from your personal answer to your professional goals. But it doesnt have to take up a lot of space, that's what I think the second essay is for! Just my opinion though. I plan to write something personal for this, but also remember to keep your audience in mind and make sure it is appropriate.
