DING!

Official ding from Wharton!

Abnormal feeling?

As the day draws nearer for Wharton's decision on whether they love me enough to admit me, I find myself calmer and more excited than nervous. In fact, I seem to walk around with more spring in my steps. I don't think it has to do with whether I know the outcome or not . I think it has to do it knowing deep down in my heart that I will be alright at the end of this whole application process.The process does not define me and I will still have fun and be successful in my life no matter the outcome!
Tried a new dish today.....................

Had a blast!

The party with my friends was a blast. We ended up going to a restaurant called Bahama Breeze. Had to wait a bit for them to seat us at this huge table.The food was really delicious and we made so much noise that we got so many looks from other people. Even though it was fun, I was sad because I knew that after today, it may take a while before I see my friends again. Two of them were going on vacations across the globe before starting medical residencies. Another one was going to University of Chicago to take up a position while another was going to UCLA to start dental school. I'm glad that all of us are following our dreams.
Anyway, back to waiting for the decision dates......................

The wait continues...........

I am really forward (as are most people) to Thursday next week when Wharton will release its decision results. In the meantime, I have a party this weekend that I am really looking forward to. Some of my friends who matched already will be finding out where they will be starting their residency today so there's lots to celebrate about. One of them really enjoy baking so there would be lots of desserts as well as food from different cultures. Some friends are even coming from out of town. This may well be the last time that we would be together in one place for a long time. I hope other applicants have interesting weekends as well. If not, please find something fun to do this weekend instead of stressing out (there's really not much you can influence at this point).

Congrats to all those who are already celebrating admits!

Another interview out of the way

Had MIT interview last week. Adcom member was very cheerful though I had prepped myself for the "straight face". After some icebreakers, the interview questions were as follows:
- Do you have your transcript? (which I dutifully handed over)
- Tell me about yourself
-What other interviews have you had?
- Why an MBA at this time?
- Why Sloan ?
- What expectation have you had recently that was not met?
- What great thing has happened in your experience at work within the last one year?
-What question do you wish that I had asked you?

I can't really say how the interview went. All I can say is that I hope for the best.

I must say that I am glad that I have done the interview because it means that I am one day closer to the end of the application process.
I wish that others who are waiting get at least an invite to a school that they are really interested in attending. That's at least one step closer in getting an ROI on this application investement.
Still hoping for other invites!
