Notes:

Applied to a bunch of schools R1, Fuqua, Tuck, Darden, Anderson, and Johnson (November Round) in R1.

Strong ECs (5 year involvement in an athletic program, raise money for two charities every year, help out at other charity events, etc.) and recommendations.

Self initiated interviews at Tuck and Fuqua, invited to Anderson and Johnson, and nothing from Darden.

So far I'm 0/4 excluding Johnson (interview in the next month).

Sucks a lot but what I am guessing is that I'm messing up my interview and not relating it enough to what the program has for me beyond the basics. Trying to remedy that for R2 but not expecting much for Yale/Berkeley/Ross.

Mentally preparing to start studying for the GRE again and try to get that higher for next year. I've managed a 164v/160q and a 160v/164q but couldn't get a better combined score.
