I would respond to each of you who has replied to me, but I don't want to overload the board. But I do want to say a sincere THANK YOU to each of you who has provided some feedback and encouragement. In such a competitive field, I think it's really beautiful that so many here are team-oriented, encouraging, and supportive of one another!

That's very inspiring. I'm so happy for you being able to see those extra years pay off! I'll definitely check out those predoc opportunities; thank you!

Thank you! The pdf is showing as "unavailable" to me, but may not work since I'm in the states.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me your feedback. That advice is helpful!

Congrats to all of you who have received so many interviews and acceptances! I applied to Management/OB/Micro programs at Harvard, Duke, Wharton, UNC-Chapel Hill, and University of Georgia. I haven't received any interviews at this point, so I'm assuming it's rejections all around. I've been out of school for a decade now and don't really have anyone to mentor me through this process. I scored well on the GMAT this summer (760) and spent hours upon hours researching POIs and writing my SOPs. As I consider trying again next year, I'm at a loss for what I could do differently to improve my candidacy. To those of you who are seeing success, what do you attribute it to the most? Do y'all have any advice for trying again in the future?
