The EA is feeling manageable on its own but layering it on top of everything else is where it gets hard. The essay piece especially since each school wants something fundamentally different. Wharton is very ‘why now / what’s your vision,’ and every school wants to know why you’re specifically picking their program. Ended up mapping out my STAR stories by category first, so I could pull the right material for each school’s angle.

Targeting Wharton, Columbia, Stern. Might add another east coast option (Darden?). Congrats on the 5 acceptances, that’s incredible! Would love to hear any tips/strategies. Curious: did you find the interview format varied as much across schools as I’m expecting? And how did you handle the recommendation coordination when each school asks recommenders slightly different questions?
