I have read abt 3 schools as of now and i have learned a lot. Sometime this week, I am planning to post my views abt the schools i'm planning to apply.<BR/><BR/>The books dont define a "How to select ur school in 7 days" methodology. They give u lot of facts and factirs abt schools. Once u read all that, u'd know where u fit in and where u wont.<BR/><BR/>Jeez - i can feel myself quiver with excitement when i speak about all this. How badly i missed the fun for the past 4 or 5 weeks?!?!! It's great to be back :)Idayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127278003276329514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19740215.post-1152617188118293262006-07-11T06:26:00.000-05:002006-07-11T06:26:00.000-05:00yeah Mountak has a comprehensive understanding of ...yeah Mountak has a comprehensive understanding of various school parametters like, teaching methods, environments, standard curriculum thingies.. read that and do some soul searching and u'll know what school fits you best. <BR/>Just for example Darden and and Harvards are case-study only. Chicago as i discovered is too much lectures Sloan is a lot of Quant. Wharton is too competitive. Stanford ( afaik) does not grade students.It doesnt encourage competition. Stanford is about networking.<BR/><BR/>now that was like 4 cents. time to shut up.Inbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327917164270270636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19740215.post-1152616882783576902006-07-11T06:21:00.000-05:002006-07-11T06:21:00.000-05:00will those books include info abt how to select a ...will those books include info abt how to select a b-school?Ramkumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265952691986584004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19740215.post-1152610885794250622006-07-11T04:41:00.000-05:002006-07-11T04:41:00.000-05:00//For an organised fello like u...Cant hide my gri...//For an organised fello like u...<BR/>Cant hide my grin on that :D<BR/>yeah - i do remember the OCOD thingy :)<BR/><BR/>I thought i'd save the best for the last. I agree that ABCD is simply like reading a movie review. They mostly have opinions of individuals about schools etc. Pretty useful though. I've read about chicago, Columbia and Harvard as of now - and i already know a lot of things i dint know earlier.<BR/><BR/>I thought reading up the less famous stuff first will help me find out the new stuff in Montauk easily :) will let u know my impressions abt Montauk once i start it. Hoping to start on it by this weekend, as i only have the reviews of 3 or 4 more schools to finish this book.Idayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127278003276329514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19740215.post-1152609686723985912006-07-11T04:21:00.000-05:002006-07-11T04:21:00.000-05:00My personal opinion is that you would have read th...My personal opinion is that you would have read the Mountak first. Its far too good compared to ABC. For an organised fello like you, Mountak will be a joy ride. Its well written. I will still say that read that book and you will have a million other thoughts.Inbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327917164270270636noreply@blogger.com
