Respectfully Declined

Need I say more??

Admitted to VTech!!

After a disastrous admit season, i am finally admitted to the Pamplin School of Business!!

Pamplin Interview

Lasted about 18mins. I called, was connected straightaway and was told-- i'd be put on speaker, my interviewer would be making notes throughout the interview and i've forgotten the rest of the instructions.

Questions asked were
Why MBA?
Why Pamplin? ( have a friend in Pamplin, so i mentioned this and remarked about how he always said it was a great place to be to which she laughed and said that it's nice to know their students are speaking well of the college.( Doesn't everybody speak well of their college? ))
Define Leadership/what it means to you
How are you unique ( which was also an essay question)
Talk about a team situation where things did not go as planned. What would you have done differently?
What would you bring to class that would enhance learning experience?( already mentioned in my essay)
What are your career goals? ( I'm into entrepreneurship so essentially what field do i plan to get into? ) My resume has 2 educational field start-ups so i said i wanted to be in that field. I also talked about a teaching experience that i had and we went into how i got influenced ( christian brother's boarding school->great teachers, teaching experience with law students and how they still keep in touch etc) and how i would probably end up as a teacher sometime or the other.

Will update if i remember more.

p.s. there's a nice idea brewing in my head over this. More details soon

New Schools

Work is on at a (somewhat) frantic pace of completing my Rotman and V.T. applications. Yup, I've added V.T. as a last ditch attempt to go to the U.s.

I'm also applying to SPJain's MS-IT program which is a dual degree program with V.T. Hopefully i get some good news from them. If i do well in the course, i get to go to V.T. in the 2nd year to complete my MBA. That's a tantalising enough carrot for me to apply :)
