Fortunato_NC's Journal: 0 For 3

Got the ding from Wharton today - the unkindest cut of all, since I felt like my interview went really well. I'm going to take feedback sessions from both Wharton and Chicago, but my feeling is that these programs simply can't look past my NCSU transcripts.

And I don't blame them. If you had your pick of 6000 highly qualified candidates for 1100 spots, you'd be ill advised to take a flyer on someone who was as flakey as I was from 17 to 20, when you have your pick of 4.0's from the Ivy League. I made this particular bed, and now I'm lying in it.

The question now is where to from here? Some mid to lower ranked programs are waving dollars at me, and with application fees waived as well, it costs me only my time to apply. I've got plenty of that, given that I don't have to worry about planning a move to Philly. :-)

More later - I really should be working now.
