I was just reading an interview with a representative from Emory/Goizueta business school, who was asked what kinds of mistakes people make on their applications. Get this:
The most common mistake we see is students mixing up the names of schools in the essay.
We totally realize people are applying to more than one program but this shows a lack of care. Along those same lines, candidates in an interview will do a lot of research but then ask a question whose answer is readily available on the Web or in a brochure.
All I've got to say is that if you put the wrong name on the application for the school you are applying to, you probably don't deserve to get in.
