Deny :(

Its a Deny after Interview for Boston. Simply not my season. So now it all comes down to Rotman.

Am dreading having to go through this process all over again next year. Not to mention another year working when i'm actually waiting to get into an MBA.

113

Forgot to mention this earlier but i got my TOEFL score as expected on Friday, 15 "business" days after i gave the exam. A frantic mailing and faxing later, my application has now moved to "Conditionally Complete" Not sure what to make it. All this while i assumed they were just waiting for my score to give me an Admit (oh come on! i have a great profile, Ding from Ross notwithstanding :-p ) but looks like i've over-estimated myself (amazing how a ding from a school can screw your mind!:( )

Waiting and Praying.

Ding :(

Its a Ding at Ross. Sad because the more i looked at the school, the more i liked it.

TOEFL disaster

BU is the only college that wanted a TOEFL score. Of course, given my doctorate in procrastination i had to book a date AFTER the decision date of BU. So on a fine saturday morning i turn up at the center, wait as the minutes tick by and wonder when i'm ever going to give the exam. Only to be told a goodish 30mins later that the exam is cancelled since the internet is down!

Damn!

ETS shedules a date for me on the following sunday. Its only when i get a reminder mail fm BU do i remember that i havent mailed them about my TOEFL disaster. A frantic mail editing(thanks Kunal)later, BU gets updated.

Once again my degree in procrastination comes in handy. Its only the friday before the exam, and in a chat with kunal, do i realise that i'm not getting any probable score and that i have to wait till ETS releases the score. Which, after a quick check, is 2weeks.

8days are now over since i gave my TOEFL. Havent heard a word from BU and am petrified of contacting them since i hear that they are handing out dings. Praying that the TOEFL score is good enough.

p.s. Did i mention i got really bored during the TOEFL exam? I couldnt believe how boring and long it was. Lets just hope i havent messed up the exam totally.

For those interested, i browsed the PR for TOEFL
