• *Why* it doesn't make sense to worry about certain things in the admissions process
• What applicants' time is better spent on
• What waitlisted candidates should do (and not do) to strengthen their position 
• The pros and cons of MBA message boards
• What MBA candidates should do if/when they find themselves filled with doubts
