dodgy

Yup. So, with my spotty work experience and my dodgy undergrad degree, what should I do?

I'm most likely dropping Wharton and Harvard for Round 1 as it may truly be too unrealistic to apply to them. They were a good dream while it lasted. So, onward ho, who's left on the list?

i) Tuck EA
ii) Columbia ED
iii) Duke
iv) Ross (possibly)

In fact, there are no safety schools on my list. Yup, that's how dodgy my background is... but heck, I'm going full steam ahead. After all, at worst, I get rejected.... *GASP* REJECTED!!!! :(

But anyway, I've started on both Tuck and Columbia and will complete them by September 15. I've also got to look at Duke or Ross. Duke requires some quant skills, so I'm hoping that if I say "I'm doing some sexy quant stuff." that Duke would be willing to look past my lack of quant in my undergrad. Surely Duke won't be that superficial? I mean, it's only quant....

I'm hoping that Columbia gives me a chance, I'm willing to put the $5000 downpayment upon acceptance and withdraw from other schools. So who knows? Maybe...
