I am still around !!!

It has been a long time since I updated my blog and I already see some cobwebs around. Time for an update.

I am sure most of us are already busy writing the killer essays, formulating application strateges and talking to reccomenders. I have been spending a lot of time on my essays too. Chicago is the first school for which I would have my application ready I think. I have spent a lot of effort on them and now it is time to get some feedback on them.

These are the schools I am concentrating on as of now
Kellogg
Chicago
Duke
Darden
Michigan

These schools are definitely on my list too:
Wharton
Stanford
UNC

I have been getting suggestions to apply to LBS and INSEAD as well. Somehow I am not interested in european schools since post MBA I would want to work in US.
The essays sure are giving me a tough time and everytime I sit with an essay I end up editing it a bit. I want to target atleast 5 schools in R1 and that means I have lots of work to be finished.
I need to get trascripts and talk to my reccomender, who would be off to US for a month starting Sep 1st and that means I hardly have anytime to talk to him and finalize things. I was a little skeptical about asking him, but finally I have decided I to approach him and I hope he would be suportive of my idea.
