April 23rd, 2009 Just got this awesome news at the accepted students site: Emory University’s Goizueta Business School is pleased to announce that it is finalizing an agreement with an external partner which will provide loans to admitted and current international MBA students. International MBA students enrolled at Goizueta Business School will be able to borrow for their [...]
February 25th, 2009 Finally, took the bold step!! Turned down the admission-offer that ISB had for me. The reason I am calling this as a bold move is that I have still not figured out the finances for Emory completely. Was busy in some other important tasks and have not taken any step on working on this in [...]
February 19th, 2009 /* Got the packets on Monday. Posting 3 days late */ Going through the life-cycle of a number of MBA applicants through their blogs, I knew that after getting the admits, the next wait is for the official confirmation in forms of admission-packets. It’s a bit strange that even in this world of web and [...]
January 31st, 2009 Good news continues to come from Atlanta. After the admit news yesterday (which I checked on the application portal OPUS), I got the real big news today morning with the official mail: The Admissions Committee has reviewed your file and we are happy to inform you that you have been accepted to the Two-Year Year [...]
January 29th, 2009 Finally, here’s the post for which MBA applicant-blogs are created!! Emory gives me the first admit of the season. Had to check the app-status on OPUS.

January 27th, 2009 I had my interview with Goizueta Business School (Emory) last Friday.. The interview was mostly conversational with no tricks or traps. ( at least none that I could locate ) The interview started with the interviewer explaining to me about how the interview will proceed and how the interview fits in the entire process. After [...]
January 17th, 2009 Well, in case the title made you assume that I have some good news to share, then Iam sorry for that. It’s just that finally I have decided that I am not going for any plan B (as discussed in this post ) at least for this year. For some schools that I was considering, [...]
December 9th, 2008 I submitted the Emory Appliucation earlier today.. Could not meet their recommended deadline (Dec 8 ) for international studdents. My prcrastination and office-workload together share the blame for this. Even today, the application won’t be considered complete. My recommenders have got the links earlier today and in all probabilities would be submitting within next 12 [...]
December 1st, 2008 Submitted my ISB submission today. Some confusion was there about the submission deadlne time. Had got a mail from the adcom stating that The deadline for submitting your online application is 11:59:59 of Dec 1, 2008 (IST) AFAIK, if you do not state AM/PM, the time should be taken to be in 24 hours format, [...]
November 24th, 2008 Feeling so happy!! Just got my first interview call!! I had submitted a request for an applicant-initiated initerview with Goizueta Business School. And they have decided to meet me this Saturday. Now, this call is surely not unexpected.. When they’re shortlisting on basis of GMAT score and resume, I was almost sure that I’d make [...]
