Sure add Wharton if you wish -- although you do want to limit your schools to 5 or 6 at most (any more than that and you'll dilute your efforts across too many schools and actually lessen your chances at each school because you'll be stretched too thin).
Stretch: MIT, Kellogg, Chicago and Columbia; Wharton is a stretch-to-longshot; pick 2
Sweet spot: schools like NYU, Cornell, Yale, UCLA, Michigan, Darden, Duke, Tuck
Safety: outside the top 16 like Texas, Emory, USC, UNC, etc
Thanks. I really like NYU, Columbia, and University of Chicago so I'll definetely apply to those.
Is it a good idea to spread my efforts over the different admissions rounds? I'm going to apply for Columbia ED along with NYU and GSB in their first rounds. But about the rest, Cornell, Duke, Texas...Should I space these out?
