Hi all! HNY 
Was looking for some advice on my app cycle - details below
For reference, my LM is 75, WARS between 82-93 (range because I have 60h shadowing, not sure if that counts as level 1 or 2).
I applied to 20 schools, a bit on the later side because I work 60+ h/wk (submitted apps between early Aug - mid/late Sept, with most in the late Aug-mid Sept range); a range of school "tiers."
So far I have 4 pre-II Rs, and am very fortunate to have 1 A, but have no more II's.
I am hoping to get a couple more II's, because I would really like a shot at one of the higher ranked schools I applied to and/or some of the schools that are in preferred geographies for me personally. I was hoping that despite applying late, my app would somewhat stand out because I am currently working at a very prestigious business firm (~1% acceptance rate) and have excelled there (involves significant leadership experience). Have also been doing volunteering on the side.
Have sent a couple update letters to schools that take them and looking at sending more over the next 1-2 weeks.
Really appreciate any insight / advice!! Thank you all so much!
