To all the reapplicants from last year:
I was pulling for you guys. There's really nothing I can say that would make you guys feel better. Feel free to reach out to me (via PM) regarding your bschool applications to other bschools. (I am back in NYC for the holidays, and I can probably help some of you guys out with advice, etc after next Tuesday).
To everyone else, good luck with other applications. Don't be too disappointed with R1 results. It's still early and you can come back with vengeance in R2. Important thing is: 1) stay positive, 2) enjoy your holidays, 3) start all over again based on things that you learned from R1 app process. Sometimes, tough times will bring out the best in you.
