Is AWA worth the effort??
Simple answer is: Depends on how much effort you are talking about.
I was talking to this guy, who is a good friend and a class of 2012 aspirant. He has already finished most of the stuff that I had suggested (Kaplan comprehensive, OG etc) and is presently getting scores around 750 [...]

Every time somebody asks me about profile-building for applying to an MBA program, I get reminded of the book: “How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life.” The book is about a girl named Opal Mehta, whose parents are hell-bent on making sure that she gets an admit to Harvard. Unlike most [...]

It’s almost two years back that I had written a post with exactly the same title.. At that time, I had not taken the test myself and hence, wasn’t sure enough of whatever I was suggesting. Since then, I have pointed to the mentioned post to a number of friends, colleagues, juniors, friends of friends [...]
Quoting directly from the first post on this blog:
Why I’m writing this blog?? Well, I too am not very sure why.. Was just reading Inblue’s MBA story when the thot struck. I guess it’d be gud to jot down my progress as I go on for my GMAT journey.. As a matter of fact, I do keep [...]

Some followers of this blog and a couple of Pagalguy members have asked me on my “tips” for Fuqua essays in particular. Now, I am not sure whether I am qualified enough to give any tips (5 more days before i get to know about it ), but I can surely discuss my [...]
Posted this “comment” on a recent post by a fellow-applicant McCoy
After I had finished, I realised that the comment had already acquired the size of a post. So why not post it on my own blog and compensate for the recent lack of activity. Some R2 applicants and applicants to class of 2012 [...]
You must have heard this so many times from B-school adcom members.. Many applicants often dgress from what is asked . And then while the resulting essay may be compelling in language, replete with examples and perfect in style, it often doesn’t fulfil the elementary criterion:: It doesn’t answer the question!!
