MBA07,
Thanks. I damn near killed myself getting the apps done. Two schools were due Dec 8th (IESE, Haas), 4 due Jan 7th (Yale, Columbia, Darden, Duke) & 2 due 15th ish (NYU, Gtown). The spread made it a little more managable
I made a master "app" in word with everything the schools ask for:
work info
gmat
gpa
extracurullar
address
etc.
Proofed the hell of it and then cut and pasted onto the apps. I did this for two reasons
1. so there would be no spelling/grammer errors
2. Made my life much easier
I found that even though the essay where different for each school, I was able to use the same theme's with every school. Believe it or not towards the end it became rarther easy to write the essays.
You guys are going to think I'm nuts, but there are a couple of schools that I wish I had applied to. I just didn't have time to get my recommenders on board, as you can imagine they were getting tired of writing rec letters!!
