Is it common to call applicants and tell them their app is being reviewed? And do you think they called everyone on the long list? Any insights are appreciated. And I have to say that it is GREAT to hear something! Especially since it wasn

I stressed how my graduate education (MBA) and work experience (former VP) provide me with a unique perspective. I was very general in describing my research interests. I hope that doesn

Penn, Cornell, Ohio St., SUNY Albany, UMass, NC State, Georgia I decided not to apply to Duke, UNC, and Virginia. Now I wish I had. Ever since I submitted my last app I am questioning everything!!!

I sent a head shot of Brad Pitt with my name on it. I'm just hoping that the adcoms have so many apps to review that they don't notice.

I should have phrased that differently. A good back story can be a lot of things (including research conducted, research proposals, etc). The point was that a person with a 4.0 and 1600 GRE isn
