An MD in my firm is an alumnus of a T10 and willing to write a letter of support for me and submit to adcoms. He says he knows the head of something at the business school, likely the current head of admissions or a previous head of admissions who is now head of something else at the bschool.

I have already interviewed and results will be out 2nd - 3rd week of March. Would you pull this lever if you were in my shoes?
