Wanted!!

Kind hearted people willing to review my Ross essays and provide feedback and review again and.....

Last date for applicants is 1st Jan Deadline for Ross essays is 3rd Jan.

In return i will send out positive vibes into the Universe for you to absorb and get into the b-school of your choice. Or for whatever it is you want to do :)

Wow!!

When I made my last post, honestly I was looking for Paige to post since I knew that she was my ONLY reader :D So you can imagine my surprise when i got a veritable flood of comments urging me to submit by R2( ok so i know 4 is not that many, but given i was only looking for 1 response, AND prior to her there was nobody, this constitutes a flood! :-p And if you dont agree, leave me a comment :D )

Which has nw got me wondering how many people are actually reading my blog and from where are there finding it! So

a.)CLustrMaps is now installed.
b.) Google analytics shall follow shortly :D

Happy New Year to all :D

R2->R3?

That is the question currently plaguing me. Do I meet the R2 deadline for Ross and submit on Jan 3rd or do i go to R3?
As an Indian applicant(perhaps even otherwise) the wisest thing for me would have been to get in my application by the R2 deadline. On the other hand, shouldnt you always get in your best application irrespective of the round it goes in? Then again, R3 is "supposedly" only for the really strong candidates.

To the one person who reads this blog, what do you say??

:'(

Time to start Panicking?

Oh most definitely me thinks so!! Somehow for whatever shitty reason i still havent started taking this as seriously as i should. Is it because as Paige so sweetly puts it i'm "practicing the fine art of procrastination" or is it because i'm so goddmaned freaking laid-back in life? I still dont feel that sense of urgency, that zing thing to churn out some interview-gettin essays. I still dont seem to realise the enormity/urgency that i desperately need to get an MBA NOW! rather than a year later.

I'm pissed off at myself and i'm too laid back to do anything about it.

Wtf is wrong with me???

p.s. the thing that started this off is this

Long Live HTTrack Website Copier

Given my unique, if rather unfortunate position, where I'm stuck without an internet connection, I needed something to be able to view the Ross website offline

HTTrack Website Copier

So now I have the entire Ross Website on my laptopn :D

Its quite big i must say. Combined with the ZLI website its 150Mb+.

That's a lot of reading to do!!

What a Waste!!

Yesterday was a total washout. I was only supposed to buy a pair of formal shoes and get back home before i left for an evening get together. However, them not having the shoes meant going hunting till i finally just bought a pair. Did i mention i hate shopping? :D

So then I had to go out to meet people who were various reasons got delayed. I finally got tired of waiting and left. Reached home at 6:30 and was too tired to do anything after that :-|

So Sunday's work = 0

Revamp!

I'm doing 2 of my Boston University essays all over again. Of course, this means that i'm missing the Dec19th deadline which in turn means i'm delaying knowing my admission status by a whole month. Dont know how good a thing that is. I'm hearing of students getting admitted with a full schol and i'm fearful that i wont get the full schol simply because i'm applying late. That would suck.

On the flip side, i think i can present a better story with the new essays so i guess i have to be willing to take the risk. What sucks though is the amount of time i spent on one essay and now know that i wont be using that essay anywhere.

Ross Essay 3

So, much like Chicago's Essay 3(what is it with me and 3rd essays of colleges?) I believelike to thinki've got this one pat down. Unlike C3 which ALL my reviewers unanimously said Redo this one is totally credible and believable and more importantly i seriously intend to pursue once i'm done with all my apping. Given that I have the numbers and experience to back it all up, this makes for one heck of an essay. Should be done with it by the end of day and off it goes to Susie :)

PostGrad Level??

I know i'm writing abt a PostGrad degree but still :D

Running out of time

All my deadlines are in Jan and I havent made a single submission till date. Dont even have net access at home but that's not even an excuse. I have my laptop but i havent really seriously sat down and worked on my essays. I keep telling myself that i'll do it on a weekend but honestly you cant write all your essays over 2days. I mean yeah you can but its not the same thing is it? you have to think type edit type cut re-format etc etc :D

I'm starting to feel pressured but not enough to kick my butt into high gear and get working. And that's bad because even my recommenders have not submitted the one college i asked them too.

Today is also the World MBA tour and i'm going so badly prepared for it its not funny. Might do a little reading in the evening though.

Am I relying a little too much on luck??
