Application season over

and it ends on a very unsavoury note. As many of you would have guessed, I got my rejection note from Chicago. It was hard to digest, but then, do you really have a choice. 6 weeks of hard work did not bear fruit. It seems WLs are never in your control.

I have not yet decided about whether to reapply next year. I definitely plan to pursue MBA. I have a couple of options in some good schools in India. I have to decide whether to go there or reapply to my dream schools next year. Would post my decision soon!

I would suggest a ding analysis from a consultant or maybe current student. Sounds like you have a solid profile, it might have come down to the essays, especially clarity and conciseness of goals.

Sorry to hear about your dings... Take heart, and do give it a try again with more firepower next year! (which is essentially 6-7 months from now!)
