Thanks.

There are a few suggestions I would like to make here:
1) Profile of Top-30 Schools: A realistic profile that is different from Business Week's and US News'...what I mean to say is there shud be not too much emphasis on numbers.
Do you have some metrics on which you would like the schools to be reviewed? Hjort is doing great as far as profiles of schools are concerned. Its a great start off point where you have a nice summary of the school.
I think asking specific questions about a school would be a nice way to know more.

2) One student from each college should provide his/her inputs about the school...why he/she chose the school..what are the advantages and disadvantages of attending that school. ( I dont know how realsitic it can be to get a student from each college. I guess we can leave out the top 5 colleges cos their info is floating everywhere)
Sure , that would be nice. I have asked some guys, but i think it wont happen until december, when guys are done with their finals.

3) GC members who are apping this year can be active on the respective school threads and share their essay experiences/queries, interview experiences and any other problem they run into.

Sure. We can start off and see how it goes.

I am an active BW forum member and know quite a few people who dole out advices on the BW forum..and comparitively I must say that Hjort's advices are always grounded in reality and well backed up by data.Your inputs are most appreicated and would love to see you continue the good work.
Yes, we feel blessed to have Hjort, Linda and MBA Game Plan offering advice on the forum.
Thanks
