can't add too much regarding application process b/c most of my applications will be targeting round 2 deadline. but having said that, i visited with a couple schools nearby and chatted with admission officers. and....(as if people already don't know what i'm about to write)

my impressions are "why" questions, rather answers to those "why" questions. why us school? why mba at this point in your career, why such field, etc. just typical questions one'd expect. one lady particularly wanted to know whether i'm a team player b/c that program hands out a lot of case projects to groups. what are your strengths and weaknesses as a leader, etc. :D

GMAT: 730 (50Q, 38V 5.0AWA)
GPA: 3.75
Full Time Work Experience: 6 years
4 years Airline Pilot
1 year International Jet Instructor (Montevideo, Uruguay) -Amazing job!
1 year starting a small flight school in San Francisco
