Longlisting my schools!!! :-o

I know I was supposed to have shortlisted by school by May end.. Had missed that.. I did make some headway into my school research after that and was able to trim down my list to a manageable number.. 1-2 weeks back, I was thinking that I’m getting mostly clear with my target list.. Applying one filter after another, I kept on shortlisting my target schools..
And then suddenly I felt the need of “longlisting” the same.. And why’s that?? Read on..

Right now, my list looks something like this:

Stanford (Wild dream, Only if I get selected as a Reliance finalist)

Ross (Dream, Apping for sure)

Tuck (Dream, Almost sure, need to get in touch with some current students for some queries)

Duke ( A bit realistic, apping for sure)

ISB( Realistic, apping for sure)

Emory (Apping for sure)

So you see after applying the final filter of availaility of a no-cosignor loan upto cost of attendance to a trimmed down list (based on criteria that I’ll list in my next post) of my target schools, not many schools were left in my list.. A look at the list above and you know that I perhaps need to add more schools in my list.. That’s exactly what I felt.. And I decided to loosen some of my earlier filters to accommodate some of the good schools that fit most of my criteria along with the all-important no-cosigner one.
And here’s the list of schools that I’m exploring right now::

Columbia

Yale SOM

Chicago GSB

Purdue

Am not saying that these schools r already on my list.. Have started exploring them and may be in a week max, I’d have the answers.
