New Year's Resolutions

Remember how I said I wasn't going to look at West Coast schools? I lied. I admit I've only skimmed, but Stanford and Haas certainly do a thorough job of talking up the social enterprise angle.

I'm going to have to find a more organized way to go about this. Right now, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to devote somewhere between two weeks and a month to fully familiarizing myself with each school (for certain values of "fully"). Obviously, if some other admissions department comes to town on a given week, I can be flexible, but otherwise I save my comparison shopping until I have a better idea what I'm comparing.

The only question is where to start. I know rankings aren't everything, but going down the BusinessWeek list is as good a strategy as any. First stop, the Windy City!
