Oh I haven't looked at the essays yet. I've started the essays for other schools though. Which other ones are you applying to?
My R1 are: Wharton, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge. I am debating if I want to add HEC Paris to R1 but I think it might be too ambitious to take on. _________________

I am also thinking about LBS, Oxford and Cambridge. HEC and IESE are also in my list. But I am concerned about the language. Being in consulting, the first level of success is to integrate with the community. And if I were to work in France or Spain, I need to learn French or Spanish. I am contemplating on that.
