Can we have an update on Tyler- did he end up getting into Wharton?

[@vintage1994]

This is such important information! In my research I noticed that while many top programs tout their military students, those individuals majoritively went to a service academy (ivy league equivalent), were special forces, or fighter pilots. How does one get featured by you two? I'm a JAG reservist with an Afghan deployment, have a JD/MPH, am a minority, and have applied to 3 EMBA programs. Accepted at Yale last week. Still waiting on UCLA and Wharton.

How big is the discrepancy for B-Schools with the Ivys vs state schools for undergrad? What about schools in between like Top 25 privates/public Schools?
