I managed spend some quality time today ( just around 45 mins actually ) jotting down how I would write the 2 optional Wharton essays. I think I have the structure in place, and for one of the essays, I also managed to list down the points I want to highlight. Now only if I had a secretary to fill in the words for me, sigh !
Writing reapplication essays is turning out to be tougher. It seems that one needs to make sure that his/her re-app stands out on its own, which isnt as easy because for most of the schools, the number of essays reduce. Further, one needs to improve on essays he wrote just a few months back(when they looked very good :)), add more insight and instrospection. I really dont know how deep I can look into myself, there's only so much I can dive into. But I am trying.
Thanks to inblue, I am now looking deeper into my short term and long term goals, and I hope this research will make my application stronger - but there's some distance to cover before I can consider myself ready. So back to work now. I meant, the work I have pending at office ( I love writing blog posts from work, gives me the feeling that I am closing in on Dilbert ;) )

Good luck with your essays!
Don't dive too deep either, what happened happened and this time it's going to be better! It's great that you are trying to understand what went wrong... but I think at some point it will be good to just forget about the whole thing and start anew, as if it never happened.
