This blog will chronicle my long marathon towards B school admissions. I am planning to apply come Fall 2008. My not so stellar profile needs serious reworking, rethinking and repositioning. Most importantly, my life, at the moment, needs direction and focus.
The roles of this blog are manifold.
1) Disciplinarian
2) Sounding board - I will spend atleast a few minutes everyday thinking about what-to-do's and how-to-do's towards my admission
3) File of links
4) Journal - My whining, gleeful outbursts, successes & failures, this blog will record them all!
5) To Do - This is perhaps the most important part and directly relates to point 1. Every post will have a to-do list - sometimes with a deadline - and I will track the progress of each of them in the subsequent posts until they are closed.
The Basics

Hey welcome to the club! and all the best for your app process!
But dont you think you have too stiff a deadline for gmat, if you're applying next yr? Unless you're very very good, i'd suggest take a couple of months extra, but then make sure you do well on ur first attempt
I know many ppl who think they'll give it a second shot l8r, but they get too bored of studying again, and end up with a similar +/-20 score.
or maybe i misunderstood :-)
in that case arent u a bit late with gmat? not that the gmat matters uch once u hv a 700+, but distracts u from the essays...
at 24, u cud easily look at next yr too, unless you hv some very urgent reasons ;-)
okay, let me shut up- i've already given too much unsolicited advice

Oops! thanks for your comment :)
I am applying for the Class of 2011, that is during the fall of 2008. Not applying this year.
I guess 'fall of 2008' is misleading. Will change it.
