hopefully our all-in bets will pay off! best of luck to all tomorrow =)

Who else has big plans for distraction tonight? My plans: Watch reality TV at the gym (The mindless kind...The City) Poker night with friends (I don't even really like poker) Big dose of NyQuil (insomnia! insomnia!)

You said the same thing about Kellogg!! No one believes you anymore! This is Isa's strategy to downplay her sweeping record this application year. In fact, I heard Isa already updated her resume with the lines..."Harvard Business School MBA - Class of 2011" and "McKinsey & Co: July 2011 - Current"

What about that summer internship as deputy chief of staff in the Obama administration?

I'm going to see the Killers play tonight! I figure that's a pretty good distraction.

Nice...wish I'd planned ahead that much! The nerves are getting to me already... Also, props on the old school radiohead avatar.

Sadly, I won't be as anxious about this decision as I had hoped when I submitted my application back in October. As I have heard nothing up to this point, I assume my old age (29) has relegated me to the ding bucket. With that said, I wish all of you the best of luck tomorrow!
