Hey folks,

Stanford: 1st drafts done
CGSM: 1st drafts done
LBS: working on it now

HBS & Kellogg: on the back burner

I feel like I'm the guy whose famous for asking this question on thread after thread, but is anyone interested in swapping essay? I'd love to get some eyeballs on my essays and give me objective analysis.

Saving myself for R2 as well. Submitted my Wharton & Booth apps yesterday. Feels good to get them done. Now the waiting begins.

Best of luck to everyone.

The best option would be to connect to a few current students of schools you are applying to and request them to review your essays. I did and I was pleasantly surprised to see just how helpful they are. Also, I shouldn't make any generalisations, but it seems that those students who blog well, also provide really hard-hitting essay reviews ;)

Hey guys. I applied yesterday for R2 Wharton, and NYU will be next week.

I have a couple of questions that must be all over this forum, but all throw them anyway:
As an international applicant, schools usually recommend not to apply on R3. Since Berkeley has 4 rounds, is it okay to apply in R3 with a "normal" chance on getting in?

Also, for Columbia, given that they have a rolling admission system, I plan to apply probably around Jan 20th (when my application SHOULD be ready). WHat does the experience say about applying this "late"?

Thanks!
