Applied: Cornell / Johnson, Georgetown / McDonough, Michigan / Ross, NYU Stern, Rice / Jones, UCLA Anderson
GPA: 3.85
Notes:

Interviewed at NYU Stern and awaiting a decision. GMAT waiver + IB goal, and NYC is the priority, so Cornell/NYU are my top choices. If NYU admits me with no/slightly less scholarship, should I take it over Cornell? Can I leverage other admits/scholarships to negotiate aid at Cornell or NYU? Shoutout to UCLA, people were cool af
