Haha also very possible. I'm sure I have enough info up there for them to figure out who I am.

Anyway though I ended up passing on McDonough and will reapply to CBS, Kellogg, Stern, and McDonough and probably add 1-2 out of Booth, Fuqua and Yale. McDonough has a great vibe going on (I wrote a lengthy post on my welcome weekend experience on the McDonough thread), but I'm only 24 and think I might have a better shot at some of these top schools with another year of work experience under my belt.

I recently received an email from the admissions committee basically saying that their class is currently at capacity, but that a few spots might open up in late July or early August. So I think that it's going to be more of the same: waiting.

Why bother re-applying to McDonough? You clearly didn't like them enough to matriculate this year, and If you're keeping them as a safety school, don't expect them to welcome you back with open arms. You'll be the rare re-applicant that was accepted. Instead of trying to show how you've become a stronger applicant, you'll have to explain why you snubbed them in favor of not going to B-school and applying again the following year.

In a reapplicant status like that, yes you do have to explain why you didn't go and why now is the "better" time for you to attend. It's not as rare of an occurrence as you might think though. Adcom knows that things come up; you just have to convince them that you would go. Whether you actually attend after being accepted again is your choice though...

True - but when "something comes up" and the student is unable to attend that year, that's when a deferral is asked for. If a school doesn't grant deferrals, then game on.

But in this case, nothing is preventing the applicant from matriculating this year other than the desire to go to a higher ranked school. What's the saying? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me? I just think most Adcom's are savvy enough in this situation to ding and move on.
