I am pleased to report that I was invited to interview at all three of the schools to which I applied: Cornell Tech, NYU Stern, and Yale SOM. I had my final interview last Thursday, and have one acceptance thus far, to Cornell Tech. The tricky thing is that I need to let Cornell Tech know whether I ...

Tremendous thanks to you both. This is very helpful. The first thing to do here is to take Columbia off the list. I will keep Cornell and NYU, but I'm still unsure about Yale. In many ways, it seems like a great match, but clearly I would need to prove that I'm not a post-MBA employment liability, a...
