http://mbajourney12.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
My journey to an MBA class of 2012. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Sorry for the delay, but I couldn't post in the last few days! I hope everyone have a wonderful 2010! Sunday, December 20, 2009. Well for the last few days I have been thinking about the two schools that admitted me: Kellogg and Chicago Booth. When I thought about Chicago Booth, I recalled this post of mine: the MBA vs Cars comparison. And guess what I have written? That I felt very identified with the Volvo, the Chicago Booth car! But I'm ...

My journey to an MBA class of 2012: November 2009
http://mbajourney12.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
My journey to an MBA class of 2012. Sunday, November 29, 2009. This week I had Tuck's interview. It was OK. I believe better than Wharton's but worse than Kellogg's (the Kellogg interview was stellar! I met with an person from admissions who was definitely very nice and committed in depth with Tuck's community. Why MBA and why Tuck. What are your passions. Tell me about a mistake you made and what did you learn about it? If I sit with your siblings, what would they tell about you? Well, I just had my Wha...

My journey to an MBA class of 2012: MBA - Cars comparison
http://mbajourney12.blogspot.com/2009/10/mba-cars-comparison.html
My journey to an MBA class of 2012. Friday, October 16, 2009. MBA - Cars comparison. I found this excellent comparison of cars with MBA's here: http:/ mbaapply.blogspot.com/2007/06/top-mba-programs.html. Is like the Italian sports car - Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis. They are bold, distinctive, and anti-authoritarian. They aren't the most reliable cars, but they sure look good, and they are the ultimate joyride car, risks be damned. Is like a Volkswagen - they aren't the most reliable ca...

My journey to an MBA class of 2012. Monday, April 25, 2011. Kellogg Photosynthesis" - Another great Kellogg video! Well, this year's videos were a total success. This is another video that a classmate made for the admitted students that came to DAK (Day At Kellogg). Honestly, it is great to see all the teamwork and creativity that is going on here at Kellogg, and not to mention the amazing job opportunities and learning experiences! Sunday, April 24, 2011. Former president of Colombia at Kellogg! And for...

Path to the MBA: Woo, feedback!
http://lsmba.blogspot.com/2009/11/woo-feedback.html
Path to the MBA. An aspiring applicant to the top B-Schools for Fall 2010 blogs about his experience. Friday, November 20, 2009. Got a surprising amount of feedback to my last post, thank you all! Also updated my 'about me' to disclose a bit more. Where I can enact organizational improvement from a true leadership position, rather than having to do everything behind the scenes! The application process helped clarify goals, as well - it is as valuable as the adcom reps say it is! It is not the only. Pick ...

Procrastinator: March 2010
http://fooblogger.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A procrastinator's MBA and Entrepreneurial rants. Monday, March 29, 2010. Let me wear a suit, please! Yes, please someone let me wear a suit. Throughout the application process of 2009-10, I haven't had a chance to wear a suit that I bought specifically for bschool interviews I expected I would have to appear for :) Alas, that didn't happen. The only interviews I had (Kellogg and Tepper) were both telephonic and I took them at home in casual wear (it was as casual as it can get). Links to this post.

Procrastinator: November 2009
http://fooblogger.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A procrastinator's MBA and Entrepreneurial rants. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Kellogg has waived my interview. Although they've explained in the letter that interview waiver does not affect the application, I'm still anxious about that. I sent emails to a couple of Kellogg alumni I knew. Waiting for their reply. But I'm unclear about the criteria they use for waiving interviews. Is it FCFS (first-come-first-serve)? More updates to come? Links to this post. Friday, November 13, 2009.

Procrastinator: August 2009
http://fooblogger.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A procrastinator's MBA and Entrepreneurial rants. Thursday, August 27, 2009. I seem to be falling behind on my application process. I've got the stories lined up for almost all my essays for the schools I'm applying to but I'm not able to find the time to pen them down. I initially planned for 5 schools in R1, I guess I have to cut that list short to 4 and focus on them and apply for the other one in R2. But I already have 2 more schools in R2. Seems like a wild-ride for me, this fall&winter. Blogging at...
