Kicking off the Admission results in style :-)

Okay, before you misinterpret… I have NOT been admitted to any of my awaited schools
Not yet anyway!
But I made a cracker of a start today – I resigned from my job and I can’t help smiling
Am I super confident of getting in? NO!
But this was long overdue*, and if I [...]

4 ‘dings aint no funeral

3/3 dings from my R1 apps!
1/5 (ie. HBS) in R2… but I’m still optimistic

I’m Back :-p

Some word-associations for the last fortnight…
Wait, Travel, Hectic, Wait, Friends, Tension, Wait, Beer, Campus-visits, Wait!
Almost 20 days since my last post, and one of my least-blogging months since I started this blog. I am now back in India after 2 weeks of hectic traveling, work and partying!
A quick update (before some more detailed posts later):

Completed my LBS interview [...]

This should be a write-off

A $ 250 write-off for my personal P&L! Thats how HBS is turning out to be – with no interview invite on 21st Feb!
Not that I’m complaining much… I sorta knew this from the start – I did NOT have a decent shot at HBS (given age/ok-to-hi GPA/etc), but could not resist applying! I don’t want [...]

One door closes, another opens

Invited to interview by ChiGSB!
Dear Oops,
Congratulations, we have evaluated your application and are extending an invitation for you to interview with us as the next phase of the admissions process.
