Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. How are your applications coming along? I would agree that Booth is a stretch school and that you're better off targeting the others on your list. You have some solid work experience that stand out for the pool of applicants at most of these schools. Ross and Emory are going to be the toughest of the bunch, but I think it makes sense to apply to one if not both depending on your bandwidth to support all of these applications.

As you're wrapping up your application for R2, have a look at some of our free resources for inspiration.
