My third app for R-1 is complete and i plan to submit the same by Oct-31. I can see a difference between my first 2 apps and the 3rd one. My motivation and passion for doing things is coming out in the essays. I am still not sure whether this would be enough for getting into a top b-school.
My strategy has been quite risky, i have applied to all schools in top 10 {in fact 2 schools are in top 5 and 3rd is near the bottom half of top 10}. No safety schools for me...
Interview invites have started rolling for one of my target schools but i haven't heard anything. I am talking about my first app. More or less my chances at this school are over { i still don't want to believe that :( ..}...in next few days i/v invites will start rolling for my 2nd app and i am expecting an i/v call at the very least....
As for my 3rd app i will only get to hear somethin in Dec {i/v decision}...for R-2 i have shortlisted 2 more schools...but a lot would depend on the results in r-1...if i am admitted then i won't apply to any other school...and if i am dinged at all 3 schools without an interview even then i won't apply anywhere ... :) ... Catch 22.... my mind is playing tricks with me...
Anyways..good thing is that i have updated my resume and it looks pretty impressive as compared to its earlier version.....can anyone tell me about some good job portals ;) ...
The feeling of completing my apps for r-1 has yet to sink in because my recommendors have not submitted the recs....will request them to do the needful at the earliest....
lastly, all da best to fellow applicants....biii

All the best, KT. Keep us posted :)
Hi KT. I have given GMAT last Friday and ended up with 750 and AWA 5.5. Thanks for sharing your GMAT experience and some GMAT material. I have planned my GMAT preparation around your suggestions. Thanks again. :)
It will be helpful if you can share how you shortlisted your schools, what are the sources and methodology used and information on admission consultants. you might have done considerable research in this area.
hey uday -- congrats buddy ..750 is a gr8 score...pls drop a mail on my id...will fwd some more relevant material :) ...
