pssst.. you waiting too

Waiting is pretty difficult..... isn't it ? Who though that it would be more difficult not do anything than being super busy writing essays, following up with recommenders and researching schools.

I feel like I've been learning about myself already and I'm not even admitted to a program yet. I have to admit, I have a new found respect for all the MBA's I work with. They successfully navigated the application process, completed the program and landed awesome jobs.

Is it just me or do you also catch yourself thinking about what stories a student/alumni, you just met, wrote about in their essays.

I really should snap out of this *what if* thinking and get on with the next few months... but what if I get into Stanford....

Tuck Interview

My trip to TUCK was good... I give the interview a 8/10.... So, I'm pretty excited!
.
..
I spent a few days up there and got a feel for what it's like to be a Tuckie.. Classes, peers, family life, social life/hanging-out, network.....I have to admit I loved it all. Growing in such a holistic environment, is the reason I wanted a MBA in the first place.....

I have most definately sipped/drank/bought their KoolAid, it's going to be a long wait to find out if they bought mine....

Tuck Interview

I have my first MBA interview with Tuck, later this week.

I'm confident but this is the first interview in more than 3 years.... I need to prep!

I'm a little concerned that my interviewer will not really understand what I do, because of my non-traditional design background. I hope to explain it well. I always take show-and-tell samples to meetings and am wondering if I should take them to the interview. They can then understand my career progression much better.

Any opinions from folks who have interviewed at Tuck ?

Breaking my silence

I submitted all my applications. It's been one long week.... Pheewww !!

.

Last night I drank a beer with a few friends without feeling guilty and then I came home and did'nt have to read essays, finish this, study that..... it was GREAT !!!

I’ve been reading all your blogs for a few months nownad it's been a great help!! Especially to someone who doesn’t know anyone else applying to business school. My girlfriend, brother, friends and parents are all a little tired hearing about the difference between Ross and Kellogg and hearing about my essays.

So now the wait begin, hmmm.......... *need to start my taxes*
