From 1 to 5 in 24 Hrs. I completed all my Columbia essays. From my experience I would say they are 85% done. A couple of them are precariously touching the outer limits of acceptable word count bulge of 10%. Once I cut some flab my Columbia Essays will be ready to upload.
On the downside it means I will have more time at hand to brood over what Wharton has in store for me. I was hoping that Columbia apps will keep me occupied till the D-Day. That was not to be.
Shedding all modesty, I feel I have a strong chance to make it to Wharton. While I am on the wiser side of the average student body, my experience and goals should add a unique color to Wharton 2009. Did I sell myself correctly?, that is the million dollar question. I can only hope that the adcom sees things as clearly as I would want it to see.
I also did some serious thinking on what I would REALLY do if none of my admissions come through. I will come back to India earlier than I planned, and will enroll in the 2009 1 yr MBA programs either at ISB or IIMA. Such an education coupled with my experience should help me reach my goals.

Essays in 24 hours? Will you be going back to them? I've found that waiting a few days before I edit away gives me a lot of clarity (I wrote that? egad ... OR ... I wrote that? that's pretty good).
Wharton is my first choice as well. Best of luck to us all! Having a back-up plan if B-school doesn't pan out this year is also always a good idea. =)
