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

Obviously, you must reflect on your difficult decision and this will take a few days.
It could well be that you receive the acceptance of HBS before you have mailed your withdrawal, or that the latter crosses the former! If you are not sure, call HBS admissions office and enquire about the status of your application. If necessary, inform them of your "dilemma".
You need to reflect; take as much time as you took to fill in your application.
