Katahdin: 529s
http://katahdinc.blogspot.com/2006/07/529s.html
Getting Ready for Columbia Business School, Running, et cetera. Thursday, July 20, 2006. The wsj has printed articles about 529s, and some folks mentioned them on the Columbia admits yahoo board. I think that these plans are great for MBA students, and I'm using the DC plan, at least for a few weeks. In effect, $3,000 is out of my hands for a few weeks, and then I get it back. But because of the 529, I lower my DC taxable income. One key is that I have to live in the District when I make 529 contribution...

Katahdin: Admitted to Columbia!!!!
http://katahdinc.blogspot.com/2005/12/admitted-to-columbia.html
Getting Ready for Columbia Business School, Running, et cetera. Thursday, December 15, 2005. How ironic that I write a long-winded, whiny post about waiting, and the next day I get an admit. Heck, the admit was early in the morning (8:45am), fewer than 12 hours after I wrote. I am overjoyed, and perhaps a mite tipsy. I spent the day at work displaying no emotion and emailing furiously. Got home and did a little dance, and made a little noise. What a great day. What an awesome year! Thank you in advance!

Katahdin: Columbia Open House - Day 1
http://katahdinc.blogspot.com/2006/04/columbia-open-house-day-1.html
Getting Ready for Columbia Business School, Running, et cetera. Friday, April 14, 2006. Columbia Open House - Day 1. Has already written about her experiences at Open House, but I wanted to throw in my two cents. Next up we divided into the clusters listed on our nametags-which won’t be our clusters in August-and did some icebreaker activities. I really enjoyed this, probably because a) I’m a dork, and b) I may still have been drunk from the previous night. In business school,. The happy hour really seem...

Take Two Bskool: August 2005
http://taketwobskool.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Making history. one application season at at time. Saturday, August 27, 2005. My vacation and study marathon has been cut a day short to allow for work-related travel. I hit the road at 4:00 am tomorrow to catch a 6:20 departure (with connections) to Boston. I arrive in the glorious land of baked beans at 5:30 pm ET. The early rise and all-day travel is NOT ideal, but I'll certainly have some free time to study. Also, I need that paycheck. Ahem. PupStar78, 7:27 PM. Friday, August 26, 2005. Although I've ...

Katahdin: It has become a waiting game
http://katahdinc.blogspot.com/2005/12/it-has-become-waiting-game.html
Getting Ready for Columbia Business School, Running, et cetera. Wednesday, December 14, 2005. It has become a waiting game. So what can I make of all of this? I have a good understanding of why I've been waiting, but not of how long I might wait. Of the two people in my situation who have gotten dings, the first was complete for 24 days, the other for 22. I have been complete for 22 days, which would indicate,. On average, a. The ball is in their court. Posted by Katahdin @ Wednesday, December 14, 2005.

http://taketwobskool.blogspot.com/2006/06/candidacy-on-ice.html
Making history. one application season at at time. Thursday, June 29, 2006. I have not posted for quite some time. I write today to let my readers know that I have shelved my B-School candidacy for the 2006 intake. Instead, I will apply for the 2007 application intake. In the meantime, I continue to focus on improving my candidacy on several fronts, as I've outlined in previous posts. I will definitely post here periodically regarding my progress. That's it for now! PupStar78, 5:09 PM. Good to hear about...
