December 17th, 2009 Visiting your target school is perhaps the best way for an applicant to judge his/her fit with the school. But certainly, not everybody can do it. This is specially true for the international students. Goizueta Adcom understands this and has arranged for coffee chats with current students through out the winter-break. Talking with an insider [...]
October 3rd, 2009 “Leading Organizations and Strategy” is one of my favorite courses so far. The course, as the name suggests, primarily deals with the issues of people, strategy and leadership. The class for the subject is highly interactive and offers opportunities for learning from experiences of people from different cultural and professional backgrounds. Last Thursday’s class dealt [...]
September 2nd, 2009 A proud moment for me as a Goizuetan: Today the NYSE closing bell was rung from the courtyard of Goizueta Business School. This was the first time ever that the bell was rung from any educational institute.. Here’s a glimpse of the moment (Although no video can match up the experience of being on the [...]
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. Don’t they call their admits?? No info on schol yet, waiting for that eagerly.. Anyways, I am very happy right now.. Trying not to think about finances and other [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
