I asked one of my profs about this - he actually suggested I apply to 20 different schools. This is still mind-boggling, but I guess it has to do with the level of competition.

I do have to ask about your dominant strategy, poleringer. Are you applying to the Top 15 because they are the Top 15? Really there's a lot of difference in the foci involved. And to their business school components - I'm assuming you're chasing an MBA at this point. That will get you into a high corporate standing, but that's a far cry from the ivory tower.

And what's wrong with Minnesota? At least it's not Arkansas ;-)
