Hey Stacy
If you get a chance please provide me with your thoughts on my chances for PT programs at Kellogg and Chicago. I already had my interview with Kellogg and I think it went ok. I talk too much but I think I was able to show my passion for school, understanding of school and its activites, how I can contribute to program and how my MBA would fit into my short term and long term goals.
