The blog has been sleeping coz there is nothing worth posting :)
I do have something to say today - the ding from HBS. It was anyway expected - it was only made official today. So it doesnt hurt much :)
Tomorrow would be similar news from Stanford. Damn, i threw my heart in at those Stanford essays. All for nothing :)
Life has been full of Chicago GSB for these days. So these dings are just like a deep sea diver's temporary views above water level, before he takes the deep plunge once again :D
There you go....:)
ReplyDeleteI like your spirit
hey, well all that matters is that you got in *somewhere*, right? uchicago gsb is a great program and chicago is the greatest city in the world! (I was born and raised in chicago)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you'll be able to eat Chicago-style pizza whenever you want. Medici in hyde park makes some of the best pizza in the city.
good luck!
I was in your school last Friday (my 2nd visit)... facilities there are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWell they say all the self-discovery that goes into your essays for all schools is a journey worth taking in itself. Chicago is a great school, best of luck. =)
ReplyDelete@anon:
ReplyDeletehahha :)
@peter:
yep - and Chicago GSB i not just *somewhere* :) This is a end result i am really happy with.
@jatwarrior:
thanks for the info :)
Hope u get in from the WL.
@asiangal:
i agree with the "self discovery" process :)
thanks for your wishes.
lol! nice analogy. its an amazing feeling when the dings don't bother u.
ReplyDeletelets co-celebrate our stanford dings tomorrow :P
Chicago is such a great school - you will totally have a great time there.
ReplyDeleteStanford is such a tough school to get into - and its small class size does not help.
I tracked your blog during my journey - which is far from over.
Good luck at GSB
Nice metaphors! BTW, I was in Chennai a couple of weeks ago but had no chance to contact you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time courting Chicago GSB!
@sudha:
ReplyDeleteso yeah - when does the celebration start???
@the one:
thanks for all your words :)
@stresstensor:
Oh that's bad.
next time u visit, let me know :)
S & H don't know what they're missing out on! Chi will be a great time.
ReplyDelete@rungee:
ReplyDeleteI guess HBS missed a lot more by not offering you an admit :)
Hope u have a wonderful time at Wharton (if that's where u r gonna go)
chicago is lucky to have you! what an awesome school :) i think things happen for a reason - you were meant to go there!
ReplyDelete@mba babe:
ReplyDeleteyou stole my line - yep, i definitely believe that things happen for a reason.
I'm gonna make so much noise at Chicago - u'll hear it from Boston ;) And i am sure i'm gonna hear a lot of noise from Boston as well :D
Chicago is a fantastic program, your app must have impressed them since it seems they didn't admit many students in R1.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading the resumes of Harvard and Wharton applicants. I was extremely impressed, and that is an understatement.
Hi Iday,
ReplyDeleteCongrats for making it to Chicago GSB. Your blog is really insightful. Irrespective of whether i get a good gmat score or get admission in a top B School, this blog will be my favourite.
Thanks for writing. And hopefully u will keep on writing throughout your course
