Brag: Completed five round one B-School apps

[climber]

Brag: I got 5 round one b-school applications submitted.

HBS, Stanford, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, UCLA Anderson


Beat: Total cost for all apps is $1707 (plus reccomender gifts I haven't bought yet). App fees ranged from $178 to $245 and I retook the GMAT once and bought a bunch of GMAT prep books. Most annoying part is I just repeated my 710 on my retake.

how come u didnt apply to kellogg or Univ of Chicago? They atopped this year's new ranking of best b-schools. Also Wharton. What's your concentration

[climber]

I'm coming out of a non-profit background looking to do social entrepreneurship.

All 3 of those schools always came across as really financy to me and i never heard anything too great about entrep. from them or wanted to live in any of those places.

710 is plenty good for UCLA Anderson. I got a 710 and got into the FEMBA program.

[hanster]

You're in FEMBA now? I'm in undergrad now and would really love to go sit in the classes but didn't know if i could sneak in!

Climber: Babson, supposedly the best entreprenurial school out there but not as well known as all those schools mentioned. Maybe you can look into that?
