If this is your First post:
1. Introduce yourself with your short profile.
2. List the schools that you are planning to apply to in 2010.
Cheers

I applied to ross/unc/rotman in Fall 2010 and got an admit from rotman. couldn't join because of monetary issues :-(.

It would really be appreciated if you do the homework and go through past threads before posting queries in if your profile is good enough because there exists no answer to it. Yes we would try to help you around but be sure to do teh groundwork up front. this would help in having constructive discussions.
All the best to all aspirants. i really do hope that i dont have to return to Fall 2012 aspirants thread 
.
Let the war games begin then

@ Nishant23: Good luck with your applications this year. Which schools are you applying to this year? Are you reapplying to any of the above mentioned schools ?

I dont see myself re-applying to schools because i don't think i have added that much to my profile which i can speak about in my re app essays.
Schools which i'm targetting : well i have not decided yet, will be doing it by Aug. But will mostly be Tier 2 schools ( US News 20-40). Finance is a big concern for me and i dont see myself doing a MBA without a schol. To get a schol at top school with my profile would really be unrealistic.
All the best to other aspirants. Please join the train. It's high time for the wheels to start rolling.
