I had taken a sanity check on 4th Dec, to get my application process back on track and I’m quite happy I did. So despite targeting 5 very different essay sets, I am pleased with my current status:
.
Columbia: all essays done, revised, checked, reviewed & modified - even the 21st century MBA one. One reco is [...]

Wharton & Chicago came out with their R1 admits almost 2 weeks back, and their deadlines were barely 2-3 weeks before MIT …
.
Is Rod Garcia going thru all the applications himself?
I thought he’d have an Adcom for that
Why then is MIT taking so much time to come out with the interview calls?

Now that a lot of Round One decisions have started, many people have a great holiday season to look ahead to… but thats only half the story.
A larger number are in the process of fine-tuning their balance applications, maybe even overhauling entire essays!

I found a nice blog post with advice on how to approach Round Two… check it [...]

Dear HBS reviewer,
You may recall I sent you my HBS essay set almost a week ago. I understand this is holiday season and you have gone on a 2week-long vacation to God-knows-where-in-the-hills. I would like to remind you that the least you could have done is to tell me you would take extra time. When [...]

… I’m not too happy with the way my powerpoint has shaped up; there’s so much more I can say, and in a much better way, but I’m not getting those creative juices flowing
I’ve heard stories of how creative people have gotten with their Stern III, and with a similar applicant catchment I’m getting worried.

Especially [...]

My current recommenders are both my ex-managers at my previous firm, and I last had worked there more than two years back
I would like to avoid reaching out to any supervisor at my current firm, mainly because no one here knows my plans and it would become difficult for me. Actually I did talk to [...]

Phew, what a week!!!
I just sent off my HBS+CBS essays to my reviewers! Dont know what they’ll say, but the load is off my back. Frankly I’m not too sure of my HBS essays, mainly the first & most important one, accomplishments! Not that I don’t have any, but putting them across in 200 words each [...]

… seems to be on track! Finally!
Reviewer One came back on the Wharton essays, and was pleased with the overall picture. Career goals good, maybe a bit fine-tune needed, nothing major. Setback seems okay, though I should put in something more meaningful for the learnings – some work required to get this essay in shape.
The [...]

I’d thought I’ll take a break from the 21st century MBA crap and complete the sundry details in my Columbia application but… I’ve been trying to log into the site for the last three hours with no luck! Its not the first time I’ve faced their slow site, but this is a bit too much!!!
Don’t know what outdated [...]
