I'm looking at H/S/W as well. For me work experience is the biggest concern - I've been in a Big 4 firm (financial due diligence) for 2.5 years. But before that I was in a trainwreck of a tech startup for 2 years. Looking at around 5 years of total experience by matriculation but it's not a typical career path so I do have a bit of concern there. I want to get into consulting after the MBA. What about you?

I took the GMAT last month (I know super early!) with 0 prep and got 700. I need to work on my verbal but I think I could easily get up to 720 or 740 with some prep.

Hey lostarm, I am not sure what to tell you for the work experience but I'm in finance (back office) 5 years now. My goals would be to move to front office or go into I-banking but in general stay in finance.

Good luck on the GMAT. I am scheduled to take it at the end of August.

Good luck to you as well! Let me know what you score.

Hi, checking in here for hsw...

I have 5 years of work experience but really weak GPA (2.3!!) But I got a 760 on the GMAT and I have solid references and volunteer experience so I hope that it won't be too much of a problem.

I forgot to mention that I am also looking at Columbia.

Application to Wharton submitted! Good luck to everybody.

Has anybody else received an interview invite for Harvard?

I'm excited but nervous. What should we expect?

Just applied for Wharton well before round 2 deadline.

Who else is in this stage of the process? It's going to be a bit of a drag waiting two months before the interview requests are sent out.

I also applied to Wharton and to Stanford. No news yet though...

If you applied to Wharton in round 2 you might be holding your breath for a while - interview invitations will be sent out on February 13.

I can't stand the wait!
