How cliched it is to say "Only thing that is constant is change".. Though equally true it is. It was Perhaps First Week of July..A casual talk with colleague, serious discussion with my manager and genuine introspection during this last week of my stay in Chicago ...and there I was on 17th of July , Buying a Gmat Prep book in hyderabad.
I never considered myself to be MBA material. After all, its not my forte to be "politically correct". However, after seeing mediocrity around, I wondered why not give it a shot. I surprised myself by deciding to work towards MBA "Unexpected". worked hard, I must say. To the best of my abilities. 720 GMAT score was decent but still little disappointing. I still feel perhaps it was not my day. some luck and it would have been 740-750..
Looking back (and attention MBA aspirants) , GMAT prep was lot easier than whole application process. Researching for school, writing essays, consulting lotta guys, reviewing and re-reviewing essays , managing recommendation letters. All this Drains u a lot more..seems like I was cut off from whole world..and Now that I got nothing much to do than to hope for the interview call , I thought of writing this up... One small step n first blog of life :) ..would be surprised if I write regularly..
Now 6 months after I first thought about MBA , I am a content man. I submitted application for all 6 schools and ISB already rejected :( ... Disheartened... nevertheless, I m hopeful that something better would come out of my efforts.
By march end, I would get to know whether my efforts were good enough.. if they are not, would have to explore the options.. Let me see what change awaits me around the corner... 2008 I hope is a year of reckoning for me.. I just hope it is . Life needs to move ahead. :)
