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

Well, I'd love to tell you to hold out for HBS. It is a wonderful experience, and a great brand (though you will learn all the same technical stuff, and maybe even more, at any other top school).
However, you say you made a committment. That's not worth much to some folks. I think it counts for something. What's it worth to you?
BTW - What shool did you get in to, that makes you sign such a crazy agreement? That total crap on School B's part, if you ask me. Was this part of some early admission deal?
