I’ve been finding it really difficult to maintain this blog. Not that there’s nothing happening in my MBA journey - on the contrary, there’s too much on right now…
Application for the LBS-HSBC loan: its just too much paperwork!
Planning the UK student visa (which can’t happen till the loan does…)
My last few days at my job – I [...]

I’ve been away from meaningful blogging for some time… have been trying to gather my thoughts, and think about my life – past, present & future! Why?
B’coz I’m faced with a giant step (only for me ‘n’ my family, no ‘leap for mankind’ stuff here) in terms of family, career, and other bits of personal life. Should I [...]

I dinged Columbia!
They were taking too much time with the application, so I withdrew from the process – so thats one less variable for my decisions. Though I am still not sure if I’m going for an MBA, I am now sure that if I do, I’ll take LBS over Columbia – even if Columbia [...]

Now comes the big thing – actually making a big decision in my life!
First decision point: Do I want an MBA at this stage? Now before anyone questions that this should have been the first decision and not the last, I agree. But being the ultimate procrastinator, I had pushed this

Every dark cloud has a silver lining…
I got my silver lining with all your comments on my previous post – it really helped me get back on track and look at everything I’ve gained in the last ten months (so many new friends & well-wishers in the blogsphere) rather than what I lost out on [...]

3/3 dings from my R1 apps!
1/5 (ie. HBS) in R2… but I’m still optimistic
ChiGSB calls have started, and though I’ve yet to receive one, I’d rather wait for 9am CST tomorrow before jumping to conclusions!
Next are Wharton (27th) and LBS (28th) – whatta week this is going to be
And Columbia is still to [...]
Posted in Chicago, Consulting, LBS, Wharton, interview on March 5, 2008 | 5 Comments »
So many things troubling me over the last few day… I’m becoming an angry young (old?) man now!
First my LBS interview schedule finalization. Its just not getting finalized. LBS took more than 3 weeks to assign me an alum, and you know what – he’s from a competing consulting firm! So that gives rise to two [...]

Dates on my radar…
Wharton final decision: 27th Mar (anytime after 7th Mar?)
ChiGSB final decision: 26th Mar (anytime after 7th Mar?)
HBS interview decision: 26th Mar (expected Ding!)
LBS final decision: 28th Mar
Columbia interview decision: anytime (hope dies in a week!)
On another note, I have finally crossed 100 posts (this one is the 101st) – surprising bcoz I wasnt sure initially whether this attempt at blogging would [...]

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 [...]
