Election on Campus

LOL! Walking back home at 10 in the night, i chanced upon this notice-board that struck me as particularly hilarious! So i whipped out my Sony Walkman W580 and got a good shot. The white piece of paper is (obviously) stuck outside the glass :D



p.s. Oh did i tell you about my new Sony Walkman W580 that AT&T kindly gave me for free while i agree to pay them for the next 2years??

List of B-schools

LOL! does it really matter? If i'm only going to apply in 3-4years time, then the whole world is my application arena :) i have 3-4yrs to really research the schools i want to go to and then decide if i really want to go there. I'll be 31 by the time i hope to enter and that number could be a deterrent at some schools. Will it be worth my while to research those schools now?? How do i know these schools wont show a marked preference for younger candidates??

With the economic crisis worsening this year in the US, i believe the competition at b-schools is only going to get worse. While i'm glad i'm not part of the race this year, I can only speculate how it'll be in the years to come. Placement stats for those graduating next year should make for interesting reading.

Potential Q to ask b-school Ad-Com: Explain the puff in your placement stats :-p

Save the Application. Save the world.

Ok so i copied that line from Heroes. But seriously do log into the following facebook app and use it occassionaly( like once a day :D ) I've got the application hosted on Joyent which gave me the account free for a year. Of course the "free" comes with a rider--that my application is used by atleast 50people. So please do me a favour, go here http://apps.new.facebook.com/gmat_mba_news/ and use the App

p.s. PHP/MYSQL Developers still wanted. Please code for free

Step1: Fix my Grades

Check.

I am now officially an MS-MTI(MS in Marketing and Technological Innovation) student at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute,MA. I graduate Dec,2009 hopefuly with far better grades than i graduated with for my undergrad :D

I've got interesting courses in the entire program. A lot of them look like MBA courses so this should be fun. I have the option of taking courses online as well as in class but i've ensured all of my classes for this semester are classroom. I'd love to get a real good feel of the american education system. Classes are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Courses i'm taking this semester
Principles of Marketing
Economics of the Firm
Organizational Behavior
New Venture Management and Entrepreneurship

I have some GA but would love a job to supplement that(Kaplan, ManhattanGmat, Princeton are you'll listening??) Additionally i can start working full-time after 9months and am also looking for an internship during the periods of April-July and longer if possible (seriously, somebody gimme a call :D )

p.s. Cannot believe i'm adding an additional 16months of studying when i swore the MBA would be the only degree i would get after my Engg. Man, the things we do to achieve our dreams :)
