Feel free to reach out to me (Class of 2012), solaris1 (Class of 2011), 3underscore (Alum) or any other Stern students if you have any questions.

IMO, you should answer in the way that results in the best flow given your particular story. Another consultant has this advice: This is the approach I have taken.

Thanks. I decided that my essay works better with an introduction to my career goals at the beginning and further emphasis at the end.

In the online app, did you guys list what other schools you are applying to? Should we answer this question, or just leave it blank?

I left it blank. If it's not required, I don't see a need to answer it.

Is it optional? I didn't see that. I generally fill out all optional sections anyway :shrug:

I'm almost certain it was optional. I submitted last week and I wasn't forced to answer it to submit.

thanks wp06 +1.... working on my r2 application to Stern

Hey guys getting ready to submit for R1 - quick question: I know Booth gives recommenders a week past the deadline to submit. Does Stern do this as well or is the 15th the final deadline for recommendations?
