Interviewed!

So i finally get interviewed by BU on the 28th. I like to think it went off well. In the first few euphoric moments after the interview i was positive it went of well. Once i slept on it, all the worries and doubts came creeping back. i still like to think it went of well so...

Interview was pretty standard. Got interviewed by one Ms Betty Harper. The usual questions

Tell me about your job. what do you do there.
Leadership Quality
Uniqueness
Why did you quit your last job
A task that met with resistance but you were still able to change
Have you considered the Ms-MBA program.

She did tell me that she hadnt read my essays but that she had my file and resume before her.Almost a blind interview then. Lasted about 17mins.

Fingers crossed!

B.U Invite!!!

I am so kicked!! I just logged in to check my mail and to see a BU invite so quickly even though i submitted my app only like 5 days ago!!

I know the above sentence is rambling but i'm just too excited to care. My first invite!!

Time to ace that interview!!!

Unexpected News

When i first started out on the whole foreign MBA thingy, it was only after i had tried unsuccessfully to get into the IIMs. Obviously, i was still on my fav MBA site i just moved from the CAT to the GMAT section. However, there was no Mod for that section and because i was pretty constant over there, and a constatnt fixture at all the meets, AND a pretty active member ( and because people generally liked me :D ) i was offered sectional mod meaning i would get to moderate only the GMAT section. And i was happy with that. you generally start off as a sectional mod and sooner or later move up to Super-Mod. In my case, i wasnt too concerned about moving up because i wasnt really active in the CAT section which is the major part of Pagalguy.com

So i chugged along as a Sectional Mod, happy with the perks that come( of course there are some dont you know) and set on being the longest serving Sectional Mod ever. I was actually aiming for posterity.

Till Apurv had to be a spoil-sport and promote me to Super-Mod!!

Not that i'm complaining :D

Boston, Submitted!!

Just sent in my Boston Application. Now,since Boston clearly states they'll let me know by Feb15th, i have (give or take)2 weeks or so to know if i'm going to get interviewed. Given that Ross will also be (hopefully) releasing its R2 invites, this is going to be one heck of a tensed fortnight.

On to Rotman! :)

Farewell, Chicago

Yesterday evening after a serious talk with a person whose opinion i value a lot, i decided to drop my application to Chi. While Chi still remains a very fascinating school to me (given i know a coupla people who are really passionate about the school and iday who actually attends) its a bit of a bummer. But the thing is I absolutely didnt account for the time needed to spend on the essays despite KNOWING that it would take so long. I guess that speaks volumes about me.

All i can do now is focus on my other apps.

Submitted!!

After a few frantic days, i've finally submitted my Ross application!!

My first app's gone out. Now, i suppose is when the real waiting game starts :-|

In the meantime i've still got the Chicago deadline to meet and it being only a few days away, means i've got a few more stressful days to go.

This entire month's going to be a nice stress month for me. After Chi, i've got BU on the 21st and Rotman on Feb1st. After that, i'm taking a holiday!!

All the best to you'll and serious thanks to those who've helped me out over the last few days! You have no idea what your help has meant to me.

Chilled!!

Whew!! Its a wonder what a few hours of stressed out essay editing can achieve!! Big thanks to all the people who spent the hours reviewing my work. I'm almost done with with my essays so i'm finally breathing free. R3 and R4 have come back with good reviews while R1 and R2 have made the cut too :) Just some final editing here and there and tomorrow Ross app get submitted!!

Scary thought that is considering its my dream school. Shouldnt i be submitting this last?? Doesnt it say somewhere that your best essays should be written last?? Somehow i've liked the Ross essays and mostly liked my answers as well. Lets just hope the Ad-Com thinks so too :)

REALLY REALLY BIG THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS!!!

Done with Essays!!!

Atleast i think i'm done! Have mailed it to a few people who are my emergency reviewers. With just over 30 hours to go, i've got only a few hours of sleep before i have to wake up for office. A friend's suggesting i take the day off but i'll do that only if i get a really bad feedback from my reviewers. Otherwise i think i'm set to make the R2 deadline.

Damn! My first app and its to the college i really want to get into!!

Time to start praying!! :)
