Notes:

2/4 overall. Waitlisted at Cornell. Interview at GTown, but dropped out once I received Notre Dame decision. Notre Dame was my top choice, so very happy with the overall outcome. If anything, I wish I had found the Clear Admit podcast sooner. I would've retaken the GRE and applied to more reach schools. However, very happy overall!

Looking for advice. I got admission in IESE with scolarship and for CBS J-Term (I still don't know if with or without scolarship). I made all my plans for IESE and now this came through. Is there such a huge difference?
