Some thoughts & self-evaluation on my 1st round applications:
MIT Sloan : submitted on 30th Oct
No interview call yet; I’ve been optimistic, but reality is soon going to bite, on 28th, the day their Round 1 decisions are due. So this may be the end of the road for me at MIT. Agreed they claim to hand out [...]

Wharton & Chicago came out with their R1 admits almost 2 weeks back, and their deadlines were barely 2-3 weeks before MIT …

And what a task it was to get my recommenders to do this!
Last week I had discussed the Sloan and Darden reco details with Rec1. He’d asked me write out all the points we discussed, and send him the bullets. Boy, thats what happens when you have reported to someone for more than a year [...]

4. A time [...]
