hi guys, this is my first time here, really need your help!
am a male applicant with 1 yr experience in telecommunication and 3 yrs in startup (run a small company in asia), i have under GPA 3.5 and graduate GPA 3.1, gmat 750, toefl can be waived.
i applied 5 schools last year and got in a tier 3 school, ranks 30-40. for some special reasons, i didnt finish the application of my dream schools: columbia and stanford, of course i got declined. but i accepted that offer and now am in the US preparing for the fall semester...after my seriously consideration, i decided to reapply coumbia and stanford, that means am already studying mba and are still reapplying new schools.
i just wonder how the schools would evaluate my special situation? anyone has the similar situation as me?
any advice would be appreciated:):) thx a lot!

They are not going to look positively at the fact that you are already in an MBA program and are looking to apply elsewhere. At best, it suggests that you arent sure about what you want to do (which is bad), at worst, it risks demonstrating a lack of maturity/ethics (accepting an offer and before you've so much as been to one class you are already looking to leave). Given that you haven't been at school for any period of time, its going to be difficult to make a strong argument that school X isn't fitting your needs, but Y would.
I'm not passing judgment, you may have a very good reason, but you will need to very clearly explain why you accepted that school and are now looking to move. To be clear, your explanation should not be anything even remotely related to "looking for a better rank", "i wanted to get into the US". In other words, you are going to need a **very good reason** to be re-applying.... I don't know what the special reasons were, but they will need to be compelling.
