Blog gets a new look!

New application season and a new blog look. I like this one more than the last. Changing the template has been my sole effort remotely related to the Fall 2009 admission process in the last two weeks. HBS releasing essays in May is the good news. Hopefully, others will also follow suite. I have not yet made up my mind on HBS. I have two doubts. One - it is super competitive and two - I don't know much about the school yet.

Another issue I foresee is that with TOEFL. None of my list of schools except Haas requires me to take the exam. Now, I have to be sure whether I will be applying to Haas before I take TOEFL. Otherwise, it may be an exercise in vain. Will have to figure this one out.

I have decided....

to REAPPLY. Well not exactly reapplication, as my list of schools is going to be altered significantly. But, I do hope to do extremely well this time round.

I am busy till May with work and other stuff so would not be as regular with my blog, but intend to be regular as soon as the application process for the year starts.

Bloggers for Fall 2009, I join your community!

Application season over

and it ends on a very unsavoury note. As many of you would have guessed, I got my rejection note from Chicago. It was hard to digest, but then, do you really have a choice. 6 weeks of hard work did not bear fruit. It seems WLs are never in your control.

I have not yet decided about whether to reapply next year. I definitely plan to pursue MBA. I have a couple of options in some good schools in India. I have to decide whether to go there or reapply to my dream schools next year. Would post my decision soon!

Another Ding: Columbia!

This is really turning out to be a nightmare. Another ding without interview comes my way and I did not apply to too many. :(

Now, my only hope comes out with results within 24 hours. If its good news, I am likely to hear sooner. The wait could not have been more painful.

No News

Its been a long long time that I have had any updates on my MBA journey. After getting dinged from Kellogg, it has been very very quiet. There has been a small mail exchange with Chicago when I confirmed my interest in being on their waitlist. Thats about it.

Columbia AdCom has been sitting on my application for more than 1.5 months now. And that is after they took almost 3 weeks to make it go under review. After my application to Columbia, my interest in the school has grown considerably and I would really love to go to both the schools I am yet to receive decisions from. My concern is that is it too late to have any realistic chance at Columbia?

In the meanwhile, there have been lot of updates in the blogger world with lot of interviews being scheduled and conducted. Good luck to all my blogger friends.

HappyBunny, All the very best for your GMAT!

Bad news from Kellogg

DING

...and I am feeling sick.

Blog needs an update!

I have been waiting and waiting for any news to update my blog with. But, alas, there has been absolutely nothing. The wait is getting too edgy now.


Congrats Oops and Miss Bee for their interview invites. All the Best!
