yeah, arent i already on the list?

probably neither. The order would be lottery awesome (which means no more b-school), then superbowl awesome (which means Chargers will kick ass this season), then it's darden reception awesome. Food was great; great alumni presentation and overall ambiance of the reception was awesome.

i wish i had the money to make the trip.... well since they require applicants to go to campus if i get invited i will be "forced" to experience it lol @ chargers. biggest mistake was to let LT go

I don't know if that's necessarily considered a mistake. LT had his time and last year he simply didn't perform that well. Though I didn't watch any of the Jet's games, I highly doubt that it was because of LT that Jets is doing so well this season (thus far).

Actually LT has been busting yards for the Jets. jets got lucky couple of games and i think they are overrated as #2 ranking behind overrated steelers. As a patsfan i wouldve been very annoyed if we lost last week since we had so many chances...

The Pat/chargers game was definitely interesting. I was extremely disappointed at how many rookie mistakes the Chargers made. Granted several starters were out, but still! If you're in the professional league, you gotta know your stuff. There were just several point in the game where I said, chargers~ you're done. Then the onside kick came on and blahblah and the rest is history. Luckily, I still believe the chargers have a chance to make it to playoff this year; we're really only down kansas city by a couple of games. On the other hand, it'll be very interesting to see what happens between jets and the pats. Chances are, either one will be a wildcard anyway if they continue to play the way they do. I think we're going to be moved soon to the off-topic section. Sorry folks.

The Gmatclub chatroom is great for these sorts of topics....

DO anyone get a confirmation email from adcom that confirms that all the necessary documents are there in the apps? I saw a message while submitting the online application that there will be a confirmatory message like that after 14 days
