Hjort, I have time for one more application. I have applied to Dartmouth, Kellogg, and Harvard so far. I am considering Wharton next, but I am concerned that I may be limiting my chances of getting in by applying to such selective schools. I wanted to get your opinion on whether you think it is smart to choose Wharton as my last application, or do you think I should choose a less selective school? Of course I am assuming that my essays are fairly well written, and that my interview goes well. I would appreciate your thoughts.
