I see that you are applying to both PHD and MBA programs at Chicago, HBS, UMich and Wharton. Isn't the PHD and MBA degrees offered through the business school (for some of these schools)? If so, wouldn't the same committee that reviews your MBA application, end up reviewing your PHD application as well? They might say that your goals (presented in your MBA and PHD essays) might contradict one another? It might be okay at some schools but I would check to see if this is a no-no as a pre-caution.

Good point. Even before the actual application, that begs the question -- what do you really want to do? A PHD is very different from an MBA; if you answer "I'll do anything" do that question, it's actually going to be a huge negative from a PHD standpoint.

Thanks for the feedback.
This isn't a "I'll do anything", rather "doing better on the GMAT has potentially opened more opportunities". At first I was only considering PhD programs, but now that I broke 700, I see potential in both programs.
I spoke to an alum from U Chicago (MBA) and he mentioned that admission committees for the respective programs are mutually exclusive.
That being said, I don't think (as far as I've given thought) that my goals between the programs would diverge. The outcome would hopefully be in the same direction. The MBA would be a more business oriented approach, while the PhD would be more governance/academic.
