Int B.Schools - 2011 Profiles/Admits/Dings/WL Thread

Question

Hi team,

We were just thinking to bring the same stuff in Int B.School forum as we have in US Applications area. The famous thread, "Admits/Dings-No Discussion" by kryzak in US applications area, got a very good response over the years, so we thought to bring the same concept here in Int B.School Application area. I hope that all the Int. applicants will respond and contribute to this valuable piece of information.

As you would have known,   No Discussions in this thread
