Just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into Columbia today and thank you and the Admissionado team for all your help. I didn&#8217;t apply to any schools Round 2 so I&#8217;m almost certainly planning on attending. Also, I wanted to add that my journey with mindfulness and communicating it through the application process has been transformational for me and I appreciate the time and effort you provided in helping to guide me. <\/em><br \/>\n- J.Y.<\/p>\n<p><em>I just want you to know that I&#8217;m admitted by Darden with full-tuition scholarship! Thank you so much for your help!<\/em><br \/>\n- L.L.<\/p>\n<p><em>Elated to say that I just got the acceptance call from Tuck. Thank you all guys. I wouldn&#8217;t have made it without your support.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n-S.K.<\/p>\n<p><em>The thought provoking feedback, suggestions, edits, comments that you have provided in just one turn, are EXACTLY what I was looking for, and what I needed. THANK you so much for this! I have been working hard to reconstruct these today, and hoping to turn around another version of the essays shortly. In the meantime, I wanted to simply express how grateful I am to you guys for amazing support in literally the 11th hour. And for making it a personal experience. I told Lauren this the other day, but I really wish I had worked with you guys from the beginning instead of wasting so much time (and money!!!) with the other guys. I know that my entire application would be much stronger and I would have more peace of mind, probably earlier in the game too <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.admissionado.com\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/>  <\/em><br \/>\n- A.M.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/admissionado.com\/mba\/resources\/mba-news-weekly-final-advice-round-2-deadlines\/\">MBA News Weekly: Final Advice before Round 2 Deadlines<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/admissionado.com\">Admissionado<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our weekly roundup of MBA News, featuring final advice before Round 2 deadlines: If you&#8217;re racing for those Round 2 deadlines, New Year&#8217;s is the final mile marker.
