Pbodine,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I hope you realize how much you are doing a service to people on this forum.
I don't want to take up too much of your time but, could you comment on anything else I could do (in your opinion) that might help my cause? I am specifically interested in attending Wharton. Not just because of their finance reputation, but because of their strong student run community. It's almost like that place is "alive" and truly has a "spirit".
Again, your feedback is MUCH appreciated!
Thanks,
Egertoda
Egertoda,
Since you know what school you want most, I recommend that you begin building a network there. Not make a campus visit but meet and speak with as many Wharton students, alumni, and even faculty as you can and then keep these relationships open. I believe people get in when they make a concerted, sustained, and enthuasiastic effort to show a school that they *really* want to belong there. So start shmoozing!
Good luck,
