True. Let's see how Irene treats us

Seems like Irene may be letting Charlottesville off the hook this time.

Has anyone already finished with: " If you were on an elevator with your dream company CEO or angel investor, what would you tell him/her about your professional ambitions and goals?" Any suggestions how to go about it?

In this case, literally picture yourself in the elevator with that dream person and imaging this is that once in a lifetime opportunity, what would you say to this person (literally speaking)? It might be helpful if you record yourself for a few times and just say a few sentences (again, imaginig you were on that elevator). This way, you can go back and edit the words you speak and see if they make any sense.

Good idea. Lets see how it comes down on paper. B/w I think if I have such an opportunity I would hardly make sense

Guys, Do whatever you can to apply in R1, providing your application is ready. Last year the yield in R1 was higher than expected, making it harder for the admissions office to extend the usual number of offers in R2 and R3. Don't freak out if you plan to apply in R2 or R3 though. Just a tip. Good luck!
