Blayze,
MIT states that it admits 50% of its class from each round, but since most applicants apply in its second round, its odds of admission are lower in the second round. Both CBS and MIT are more difficult schools to get into then Chicago, so given your concerns, you may want to shift your emphasis to Chicago -- assuming its program fits your needs and you have already done all the due diligence (interacting with students/alums) to present a credible Why Chicago argument.
Good luck, Thanks Paul.
When you say that CBS and MIT are "more difficult", are we talking marginally more difficult (in which case I would probably apply to them over Booth), or significantly more difficult (in which case I would apply to Booth). Otherwise put, is their R2 the equivalence of the dreaded R3 for more "traditional" schools that have 3 rounds?
Between MIT and CBS, which would you say is more difficult to gain admission to?
Thanks,
