Life is good!

It's been long since i posted any new message. I was away to meet my near and dear ones for past 10 days. I had a great time and also took out time to work on my essays. So, I am done with my HBS, Kellogg and Wharton essays. Currently I am working on my Duke and Michigan essays. I hope to complete them by next week. On the reco front, one of my recommender will complete the form by this month end.

Regarding my resumes, I have currently created a one and half page resume. I got it reviewed with my seniors at b-schools. The resume looks good to me now :-) I will trim it to make it to one-page for the schools where one-page resume is the norm.

I also plan to send my GMAT score to some of my final schools. I hadn't sent my score to all of my final schools at the time of GMAT. I feel, the GMAC should allow the test takers to report the score to the target schools any time after the test because most of us are not sure of our target schools at the time of taking the tests. But, I don't think the GMAC will do so as it will hit their revenue.

I have started filling up the online application of HBS and Duke. The next 1 month is going to be quite hectic. Apart from application work, I am also currently at a critical phase in my marketing and operations assignments. So Life is good :-)

Done :-)

So, Finally, I feel satisfied with my HBS career vision essay. I really had a tough time with this essay. In some of the drafts I was not satisfied with the structure, in others, with the goals and in yet another, with the overall message to the reader. But, now i feel it's pretty balanced. Though, I know it will be much better after I get the feedbacks from my reviewers.

Now, I will get my essays reviewed with someone.

This week is going to be quite busy. I don't think I would get enough time for the rest of the week to work on my essays. Though, my mind would be occupied with them. I hope, I do not start telling about my career vision, when the clients ask for the business updates ;-)
