Applied to HBS R1, Tuck in Nov, Columbia in Dec, and Chicago, Wharton, and MIT in R2.

Chicago is my #1 but, as people are stating on this forum...the app was too difficult. I needed an app like HBS to get my mind working in the right direction.

Good luck to you all.

Coming along well. It'll be a late night but I will definitely submit for R1. It is my first choice, indeed.

I've decided to buy a lottery ticket and apply to Wharton for R2.

If I get dinged on my R1 Duke app, I'll be applying to UNC as a safety.

I'm in the same boat as u.Will apply to Wharton in R2.I believe I have slim chances at Wharton with my 750 gmat and Indian IT background.

If I get dinged at Duke,will apply to Darden/Emory.Emory would be my safe pick.

Do you guys think that submitting your app in the beginning of Round 2 or middle of Round 2 makes a difference?

I'd like to submit all of my apps in about two weeks and forget about them.

I'm applying to a couple of schools in R2 - Darden for sure, and possibly Yale or Ross. Still have a bit of research to do...

How many did you do in R1? 6 or 7?
