Actually I gave my GMAt in september and tried to meet R1 deadlines of all ultraelites and elites and in the process messed up my essays in a hurry to submit. Big mistake and even bigger learnings (although costly)
Now I have taken 1.5 months for my kellogg essays and did all I could
I cant believe I missed out my fund raising efforts in a hurry to submit.
so hope fully something happens this time :)

WOW! I can't imagine doing eight sets of essays. I am applying to two R2 and was surprised at how little I have been able to copy from one school to another. Obviously similar themes but completely different essays.
Sounds like you have made a good correction to your application from R1. Good luck!

GMAT 680
Comp Sci. UG GPA 3.6
MS IT Grad GPA 3.4
Working as a software engineer for 4+ years. Have a total of 62 months of work experience.
Have good volunteer stuff.
Very international candidate having lived in multiple countries and experienced many different cultures.

Weakness: My UG was a little messy at first but good recovery towards the end.

Applied to Kellogg R2. Not very optimistic having read about all the dings coming out of Kellogg.

somehow I feel this forum has a bias against MIT and Kellogg
very few of them seem to have applied as compared to

chicago/h/s/w
