Cognitive Bias: September 2010
http://cognitivebias.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
All things considered: My reluctantly digressive take on everything around (Currently focusing on my b-school pursuit). MBA Application Essays: Is it all about creative writing? It’s that season! The best answer that I ever came across was during my Tuck visit. During the session with the admission committee, one of my fellow prospective students asked this question “I believe I am a strong candidate and have faith in my abilities. But my writing skills – it’s nowhere close to creat...Organize activities...

Cognitive Bias: Waiting for the Tuck result, should be out any day now.
http://cognitivebias.blogspot.com/2010/12/waiting-for-tuck-result-should-be-out.html
All things considered: My reluctantly digressive take on everything around (Currently focusing on my b-school pursuit). Waiting for the Tuck result, should be out any day now. Like I mentioned in my previous post. Today, all this really does not bode too well for my R2 applications. I am spending too much time digging and reading about these when I should totally concentrate on my applications. Easy to say but so hard to keep your mind away from such impending and high impact decisions! John A. Byrne...

Cognitive Bias: February 2010

All things considered: My reluctantly digressive take on everything around (Currently focusing on my b-school pursuit). Blizzard of ’78. I was talking to a friend last Friday about how we were fortunate to have avoided the bad weather. I was referring to the blizzard that missed. And instead tormented the neighboring southern states dropping close to 30 inches of snow in certain areas. We talked about how states like. So ill equipped for snowstorm, might be crippled in the coming week. I was so glad to h...

Cognitive Bias: December 2010
http://cognitivebias.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
All things considered: My reluctantly digressive take on everything around (Currently focusing on my b-school pursuit). I won’t be a part of this elite group! So it’s official, Friday evening at 5 PM I received the first decision on my applications and it turned out to be the unfavorable one – Tuck dinged me. My mind is a playground for doubts, inhibitions, and fear now. What might have gone wrong with my profile? Did my essays have a gaping hole? Did my experience count against me? Waiting for the Tuck ...

GMAT and MBA Application: Advice, News, Insight, Tips, Course Reviews and That Lill Extra Something. Thursday, August 26, 2010. I can't believe I actually did it. I spent 15 mins and tweaked my resume a bit. Obviously it's not done and dusted yet. Any product is not ready for the market until is has been reviewed and sent out to a sample group i.e. beta tested. So, I have taken a leaf out of Amar Naik's. I was going through a couple of resume tips, and the most important ones are:. How did the numbers ch...

All things considered: My reluctantly digressive take on everything around (Currently focusing on my b-school pursuit). It’s been lull. I think work too has something to do with my lack of effort here. It’s really getting very hectic and doesn’t leave me with a lot of time. But hopefully next week onwards (after thanksgiving) work will cool down to normal levels and I hopefully I will be able to take a few days off in December. Posted by Cognitive Bias.
