Dinged today. Submitted for ED on 10/2. Just got back from visiting Booth and Kellogg and not too upset about it after seeing those schools.
Sorry to hear that. Could you please elaborate on why you are not upset after seeing those schools? That will be really helpful to other candidates.
Sure thing. I was stuck with a busy season at work through most of Rd 1 and only was able to visit 2 schools (Columbia and HBS). As I have now been able to visit more and more schools I am able to compare/contrast and build upon what I am looking for and what is the best fit for me. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend visiting as many schools as you can as you will be able to do the same and really find the school that fits you, not that just has a great name. I hope that Rd 2 will not make it more difficult to get in, but I will have a better understanding of which school is the best for me. I have seen now that I lean towards a different school more and plan to continue visiting schools to make sure this doesn't change.
