jordanhendrix,
Thanks for the useful brief, care to share which BSchool asked Qs or you can pm me. I have been so invested in the application, essays, chats to students, alumni and interviews that I haven't thought about this dilemma. I honestly thought BSchools receive literally thousands of applications and adcoms make more offers than places as they factor in yield anyway. Additionally, there are plenty applicants on WL to fill their class easily. They really want to know where you enroll at their competition? On a quid pro quo basis, most BSchools don't give me useful feedback when they ding me and don't explain their decision process. Why shouldn't I useful adcom's explanation of
1) competitive BSchools, great programmes
2) tough decisions to make
3) good luck
One BSchool has been fair to me in the tough process and I would be inclined to answer most Qs for market research purposes if being asked. I want to be prepared, general explanation would be sth like: "better fit to short/long term personal and career goals."
