Adcom to note!

"Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" - Atticus to his children (To Kill a mocking bird, 1960)

In the bschool admissions game/society, the equivalent quote to the one above is this:

"Deny all the bankers/consultants you want, but remember it's a sin to deny a young & ambitious engineer" :-)
