Well... I submitted Cornell to their super early round 1 so should hear back on that next week. I will submit Dartmouth for "November Round" which will report early Jan. The outcome of Cornell will be nice because it will help me to gauge what to do next... If I don't get in I'll apply to Michigan, Duke, and maybe even Kelly to be safe. If I get into Cornell and get some $ than I will apply to a few reach schools for R2. It seems like a reasonable strategy for me. I'm concerned with going to business school someplace good and if I get in someplace good that I am happy with like Cornell I'll apply to some reaches (UChicago, Wharton) and if I do not get into them I will be happy with my first admit. I'm not going to spend my whole life applying in the hopes of getting into a number 8 ranked school rather than a 15th ranked school.
This is essentially my thinking. If Cornell rejects me, it seems unlikely Kellogg Harvard or Chicago will accept me. With that in mind, I applied ot Cornell's R1 because I will know so early from them - early enough to consider throwing down a few other applications for R2 if need be. If Cornell accepts, I plan on waiting on Kellogg and Chicago (January 4 and Jan 7 decisions). If they reject, I'll re-apply part time. If that fails too, I'll decide what to do at that point.
Does anyone know of a site that lists the deadlines for all top 25 schools in a nice clean table? It would be helpful to able to see them one after another.
