Thursday, May 26, 2005. Yours truly is planning to apply for graduate studies in financial engineering (fall '06 admission). Been looking at tons of websites of graduate programs/schools. The outcome of the exercise was simply this: My credentials are simply not enough to get me an admit in any of the places that I want to go. Some of universities have gone so far as to state that people of my qualification can't even apply. Case in point: UC Berkeley(Yeah, I dream BIG! I wanted to piggyback on graduate ...

Thursday, July 28, 2005. Less than a fortnight away from the test date and am totally nerve-wrecked. I am supposed. To have been preparing for 3 months but my erratic studying pattern [for a 3 week period in june I even comfortably forgot that I had registered for this test until one day my dad asked how my preparations were. No kidding! Still 'Sentence Correction' is killing me! And I'm not entirely confident about acing the quant section either [so much for a M.Sc in statistics! Sunday, July 17, 2005.

Wednesday, June 22, 2005. Remember this serial by K.Balachander that used to be telecast on DD-1 long long ago! Well, I got the title song of this programme - "Indha veenaiku theriyadhu" from one of the live journal blogs while some random surfing. You can download this from here. Lovely song, isn't it? Posted by Dinesh @ 11:41 PM. We never subscribed to pay channels at our home and hence never really had the opportunity (Thanks dad! I googled for this hotel now and managed to get a few pics!

Monday, October 31, 2005. Dad's doing his(my) homework. Found out while chatting home last night that my dad had been to a Princeton Review (PR) centre in Chennai to find out all about this 'MBA admissions process'. He is now asking me why I'm not applying to Stanford or Harvard! I guess only parents are capable of having such infinite faith in us. Perhaps I should ask the admissions committee to have a little chat with my dad first :). Posted by Dinesh @ 6:55 PM. Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Pretty piss...

Finally, I have deicided to stick to my guns and apply mainly to quant finance programs only. There is going to be just one MBA application though. And it will go out to New Haven, Connecticut (Yale). Man, if I can pull off this one. Posted by Dinesh @ 5:28 PM. Tuesday, August 16, 2005. Aimless, Clueless, Shameless.

Monday, September 19, 2005. The emotional investment that goes with MBA applications is huge. Some of essays make you come out with your most innermost feelings and passion that I can see how devastating a ding from any school can be. GMAT scores are valid for 5 years and I am being asked to wait out another year if I don't get in this time around. Here's an interesting POA suggested by one of my seniors -. 1 Apply to 4 schools this year. 2 If no success, apply to a new set of 4 schools next year. So, sh...
