agree w/ jmw. If your move really was some sort of hedge, I think that's a strategy best left to yourself given that a lot of folks on here are looking for their first admit and have already been burned by HBS which for many (like myself) was my #1 choice.
Thanks BeeSkool, I agree completely with this quote. I actually didn't mean to hurt sensitivities here, but it is VERY clear for me now how out of touch a post like this can be.
However, it is new for me that, according to your (and Jmw125's) feedback, these verifications and background checks from the schools are nothing but a casual "game" of no importance; I actually didn't see this stated in ANY of the B-Schools websites, so my default attitude was and is to treat them very seriously until finally cleared. I have of course provided all truthful information, but well, the process is over when it is over, not before.
I also understand the feeling of getting burned, as I have been rejected by two B-Schools. And although I won't discuss your selection of adjectives, this discussion turned out to be something to learn from, for me at least. Cheers.
