B-School Wannabe

I think I have narrowed down "The List" to the following schools:

Stanford
Haas
Kellogg
UCLA
Michigan

I am interested in these MBA programs for their ability to turn out strong general managers, their culture, and their reputation in my fields of interest. My west coast bias is probably pretty obvious, too. If I had to rank them in order of preference (not in order of my chances of sucess), I would probably put them in that order. I have only visited Stanford and Haas so far, but plan on visiting the others before the end of September.

I have not decided if I will apply to all of them in the first round, or if I will apply to UCLA and Michigan in the second round. My preference is to get it all over with, but I don't want to spread myself too thin.

Next up, I need to get my recommenders geared up, which means telling my boss...
