Okay ladies, the reason that I have been virtually MIA for the past 6 months is because I have been studying for the GMAT and preparing my application for the University of CHicago GSB. I am happy to report that Friday afternoon I submitted my app, yay!!! I feel insanely confident in my chances. My essays rocked, my interview went insanely well, I have pretty good grades, my resume is great and I picked great recommenders (1 of whom is an alum and the CFO of my company). I can't help but get nervous though. This is because my GMAT score was just "okay". Everyone that I know keeps reminding me that it is a really small piece of a huge puzzle and that I shouldn't sweat it if all of my other ducks are in a beautiful row.
I can't help but worry though...being a woman sucks sometimes.

Good luck! I'm sure you will have no problem getting in. You seem to have put a lot of work into it and you have great references and essays, which are so important.
Good luck! Sounds like you'll be fine, even if you think your GMAT scores aren't as good as they should be. There really are so many other factors, which you seem to have nailed.
Thanks for all of your support ladies, but I didn't get in. I asked where I fell short they told me that my recommendations were not what they were looking for, e.g. my boss totally screwed me. That is part of the reason that I quit my job.
I am not letting it get me down. I am still going to apply to DePaul when I find a new job and I will get my MBA. I am not letting these a-hole people get me down!!!
