In Reply To: Hi, I post this in Mck given the experience that Mcks have with MBAs...thanks for your kind comments. I was admited first round to a top school in US and I signed the honor code that required that if admited I would withdraw all my other applications. Unfortunately, the school I was admited was my second best choice, and I am still running for the first choice (HBS), but I worry that, even if admited at HBS, it might look very bad that I failed to mantein a commitment with another school and I guess HBS might throw me out although admitted (assuming that HBS gets to know that...meaning that schools exchange information...or that the school I will not enroll in, might comunicate this to HBS...). I really did not think about this problem when I submited my application 1st round. It my throw me out of both schools! Any suggestion? Help? Past experience? Thanks
Message: Just go to the other school. Problem solved. =) (No offense meant to the HBS grads out there!)
