Zero for Two

Dinged at Wharton. Not sure where to go from here. Hoping Haas comes through in next couple of days. Monday is D-day, but could hear back before.

Pretty bummed out. It's a competitive year... not sure how I could have improved my Wharton app except better GPA and a slightly higher GMAT. Makes me wonder who I'm competing against here... I mean, I thought I was competing against humans... people that are more or less accomplished leaders.

In any case, this is gonna suck at work as the cat's out of the bag on my MBA apps. Gonna get dozens of questions today.

This really sucks.

That makes two of us. Sorry to hear about the ding, but I'm truly rooting for you for Haas. I think it's just a tough year and lots of stellar applicants applying. I won't see u at W, but we will both be part of the class of '08!!!

Wharton is brutally tough this year! We should start a HAAS chatroom the night before decisions are released and celebrate by getting completely drunk when you get into Berkeley.

Best of Luck.
