New Beginnings..........

Cheers to new beginnings!!

Whats new?

1. I begin work at a new place this Thursday - Ooooo god let me please like the people I work with - thats perhaps my only crib. I am yet to develop the finesse of an MBA (wink wink)

2. I got myself a new blog - Am like this lil kid in a candy store every time I do that.

3. I have just begun my GMAT preparation again - it started off as a bummer (I got a 540 on Kaplan Test 1). Gosh, didnt i tell ya...someone somewhr hates me :))

4. I got a new hair styler + dryer thingy and am totally kicked about it. BIG PROBLEM though - I dont really know how to get that stupid styler working!...baaah..So for the moment its just prettily sitting on my dressing table. I just look at it before I go to bed every night(A thinks I am nuts...and he is right)

5. Useful Shopping - Books, DVD's, Bags etc etc......

In case you are wondering what that post was all about...hehe...am wondering too :))

It Begins here....ooops....It has already Begun!

My journey towards getting admitted into a Top 10 US Bschool has begun yet again (yup, applied in the past and currently making peace with a deferred admit).

I was just trying to figure out how this year is any different from the previous year. Am i going to get a 780 on the GMAT? (fat chance.....) Am I going to write amazingly smart essays? (I loved my previous essays too:(, unfortunately not many others did)......Am I going to fare better at the interviews? (mmm...am being optimistic there)....Am I convinced about wanting an MBA? (100%...the past year has just convinced/shown me 100 plus times as to why I need an MBA)

The last point perhaps is going to be of great use to me in the coming year. Not that I wasn't fully convinced previously :)

Where do I start?

GMAT? (I am sure someone somewhere hates me....he/she wudnt have created this hateful test otherwise)

School Selection? (Its done)

Essays? (Strangely enough, thats perhaps what I like most about the whole application process)

I need to figure this out..............
