The final push has begun

It looks like all the applicants have started hammering on the HBS application system. I started filling out my application yesterday, and it was pretty responsive all through the day. Earlier today it was pretty responsive as well, but it looks like the East Coast applicants are hammering on it now, so it's going dang slow. I hope this system doesn't go down, it would be a bummer to miss the round 1 deadline because of that. I guess that's what I get for waiting until this late in the game to start filling this portion out.

I have decided to apply to Harvard and Stanford during round 1, and I've bumped Wharton to round 2. My decision was based on the fact that there is just no way I could whip both my Wharton and my Harvard apps into shape in the time I had left. I really want to make sure I nail my Wharton essays as well, so I didn't want to try to rush them.

I feel pretty good about my HBS essays. I really tried to lay my personality and my dreams out there for people to read. It gets tougher and tougher though, because as you dig deeper into the layers of your psyche and expose those thoughts to the world, the pain of rejection goes up. Well, this is sort of a jumbled up post that I have dashed off while waiting for the HBS system to respond. Time to get back to working on my Resume while this system makes up its mind about what its going to do.
