Columbia gets back to me

I heard from CBS on my feedback request - guess what, they denied it. I was checking out the BW Forums and I see all of them have been denied with different letters. They say they have read my application and have put in some points in the letter.

However, my letter seems to be very generic. The first line is " Check out the class profile" followed by gyan about applying ED or early in RD. Although, the first line does seem to be a little negative. I am not sure what to make of it. Are they really suggesting that my profile does not match up to the guys who get admitted. It would have been great, if they had been more straight forward about it.

Ready for Essay Writing Part - II

Application season is on the threshold of a new beginning. One of my target schools (read ISB) has already gone live with its application. So, its essay writing time again. And this, most certainly will be my last shot.

I have for the time being decided to leave the choice of the sixth school open, which anyways is going to be my last application. So, the timeline for me would be something like:

Jul-Aug -> ISB and Columbia
Aug-Sep -> Chicago and Tuck
Oct -> Stern and XXX

All should end up in Round 1. I think it is pretty doable. Meanwhile, there is not much news on the job front. Peaceful it is, atleast for the time being. :)
