My journey to a B-school…….

I was going through my blog’s dashboard today, when an old draft caught my eye and I was reminded of a promise that I made  right at the start of apping-process last year. Recognizing my efforts on this blog, Clearadmit had offered me a free sample of their school guide for The Fuqua School of [...]

Not sure what to make out of it.. I got shortlisted for an interview.. ( Not many international students got an invite) I had as good an interview as it could be.. And after all this, this is the result!!. Feeling shattered! Waiting for another blow in next 24 hours with Tuck results coming up.

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 take on [...]

Had my Fuqua interview yesterday.. As I had posted earlier, the school had offered me a telephonic interview with a Delhi-based alum, but fortunately, the interviewer was interested in a face-to-face interview too.(Putting myself in his shoes, if I were to choose a candidate for my alma-mater,I too would prefer to meet him in person [...]

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, [...]

After a long dry spell of no calls (rather no updates), suddenly I got two interview calls in last 10 hours. Fuqua finds my application interesting enough to extend an alum-interview invite to me. And this time, I surely have reasons to be happier, because this is my first adcom-initiated interview. Folks, pray for me!! Hope [...]

A couple of regular readers of this blog have dropped me mails asking me for the updates at my end. I agree that I was missing in action for quite some time. The reason for this is that there has been no significant update on the apping or result front for me since my last [...]

Well, I now believe that I’m down to my final list of Bschools that I’m targetting.. As I said some time back, after the applying the no-cosignor criterion, there were very few schools left on my list..  I thought of expanding my list a bit..  This resulted in some weird school-combinations on my expanded list.. And many of [...]
