I would like to open this topic to thank all the GmatClub admins, members and contributors for the great help you have provided. I would have never ever been able to get admitted in schools such as Wharton and Chicago. I will certainly mention this site to all the people applying for an MBA.

I won't mention any names - I would forget a couple - but once again, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

One day it's Chicago, another Wharton :)

I think I'll try and contact a lot of students from both schools to have an idea - won't be able to make it to admit week-ends of both schools though :?

Congratulations - Must be nice to have a choice between GSB and Wharton.

The best way to thank us would be to just pay it forward - continue visiting us and share your wisdom with the 09 applicants.

Ok sorry, I was not clear: I will not be attending to either week-ends (nor Chicago nor Wharton)

I know are you're right. But:

1. money-wise it's pretty expensive (more than 1500$ for both week-ends) even though some might argue (and they're probably right) that 1500$ is nothing in comparison with your future - true but it's still 1500$!

2. I can't take time off anyway even if I wanted to, since I'll be taking 1 month off for my CFA and vacations.

1. Going to the wrong school and spending $100K on it is far worse than going to the right school and spending $101.5K

2. You will eventually quit anyway, so who cares?
