A hole as big as the first installment of the Chicago GSB enrollment fee :)
A hole as big a US$1000 :)
I just got back from the bank, after submitting the documents to obtain a draft in US dollars. Since this if foreign exchange, i was asked to fill as many as 4 different forms to enable them take the money from my account and issue me a draft payable to the school. Since most of the forms were in "Tick mark against appropriate option" format, it took my just more than 30 minutes (thanks to my really really long full name) to fill the forms. I think i am getting a taste of the paper work to be done in the next fews months.
Anyway, i'll get the draft tomorrow and i need to go gather the official transcripts (and official certificates as well) which have been with a friend for quite some time now. And i need photos as well. Sigh :(
Once i get all these done, I'll be sending in my enrollment package to the GSB. I hope to finish all these before the end of the month.
All this amongst crazy work.
Run Iday Run :)

Susie
I have a feeling you'll be running from this point on! It must be a great feeling to send that deposit in (well, maybe not to part w/ your money but certainly to know what it stands for!)
start practising signing documents. after mba u need that practice afterall. :)
@susie:
surprise no: 1 = did u just ask me out for a dinner??? :O
surprise no: 2 = assuming i take u out, you eat for more than US $1000 :O :O :O
surprise answer: Just because i want to see whether u can live up to the promise, i agree to take u out for dinner :P
@rungee:
All the other work (Visa, Fin aid) starts in March/April for GSB. So i am repeatedly being asked by my admissions director and student contacts to chill and relax for the next 2 months :)
So my "running around" w.r.t school isnt gonna be that hectic at least for the next 2 months. If u also included "running in the treadmill" and similar running, yes i'm running a lot already :D
@ram:
yeah man. i've never signed two similar ones. so yeah, signing is fun :)
Yup.. I CAN eat for more than $1000.. at The Leela Kempinski :D
Susie
aww working as a banker dealing with the foreign exchange, i hear ya.. it does take too long tho. anyways congrats!!! now ur officially In GSB and all u need to do is pray for my admission to GSB lol.. then we can join the dance club together ;)
woooo! getting asked out to dinner and finding a potential dance partner, all in one day! u r on a roll man! :P
but, come on. running around doing paper work amongst crazy work is not as tough as writing essays amongst crazy work!
@venusdicyndi:
The foreign exchange doesnt take time :) I'd get the draft tomorrow noon - that's less than 24 hrs. The difficulty was the forms. But as a banker, u must be adept at filling forms already :)
Oh yes! I'll pray for ya for sure. At least i'd get a dance partner ;)
@sudha:
yeah - i am on a roll. Just got back from the gym and my buddies say when i run, i appear to be rolling :) They're exaggerating i know, but i'm so unfit man :( I hate myself.
As for the comparison - if u enjoyed writing the essays (which i did) you would realize the difference :) After a long crazy day, what would you do - write an essay or fill the online data form???
BTW - the lunch slot is still open :P
Congrats on the chic(ago) man! Looks like a lot of things are workin out for ya!
Guess its the start of the things to come!
Enjoi while the movie is rolling! ;)
max
WOW!!! I'm so excited just from reading your post about all this going to B school thing... :) Have fun !!!
I noticed you have 30K hits to date. Why not look into adsense, might as well start getting paid for your time blogging. :)
btw if anyone here got admitted to Oxfords SBS, please drop me a note @ topguide@hotmail.com
@max:
Thanks man :) I hope the movie is a long one :D
@ipoel:
Thanks :)
(after UCLA) I hope to hear more good news from u pretty soon :D
@anon:
Oh no - i dont want yo use any Adsense :)
woo hoo! it's official now!! :) i think we're going to get used to the phrase, "what's another $1000 when we're going $120K in debt anyway"
@mba babe:
Look at the Harvard admit speaking about money :O
You can speak about everything but money :D
And even if u do, add another $20K to the sum, we'd be $140 in debts :)
dude.. congrats.. i am jealous that you are required to pay only a 1000$ deposit, as against 3500$ i paid a fortnight ago :( and happy that i paid thru credit card rather than sitting around and filling out all these forms :)
All the best...

hi iday,
i have been the silent reader of your blog and your posts at PG for sometime now. Congratulationf for the GSB admit. I also have started on my journey for getting into a top B school and presently preparing for GMAT. Your posts have always been very informative. but i really require some advice from you to do away some of the confusions i have. though i have been very active on the GMAT and the B school threads on PG but there are many things specially related to the application process, since i will be applying for fall 2008. It would be really helpful if you can clear some of my doubts. thanks
