I am back and I am here to stay !!

I have been off for a quiet long time now and I am sure some of you must be thinking the blog is gonna be dead, but I am back. There was a little change in my priority and had to concentrate on something else for the last few months and now that I am done with it I am all rearing to move ahead and go all out for GMAT with even greater enthusiasm.

I have not yet started preparing again but I am planning to start it now and would take GMAT around Jan end or Mid Feb.

In the meanwhile I have still kept my eyes and ears open to all the information flowing around regarding the various schools and GAMT preparation.

I attended the World MBA tour last week and had a chance to talk to some of the school’s representatives. Few of them I talked to were Darden, Wharton, Hass, Queens and Ross school of Business.

I was really impressed by how patiently the lady from Queens Admission committee took all our questions and explained to us about the Queens philosophy and what it is looking for in the candidates and what makes it a special place. I was attracted towards it more because of the relatively lower cost and its inclination towards technology. It also emphasizes on team work and the smaller class size lets the students share a special bond and know each other well.

Ross school of Business hosted a presentation and I had a chance to attend it. I found that as the most interesting talk on the day. They shared a lot of information about the school, its culture, teaching methods and community. There were two alums from the school who made a great effort to share with us their experience. It had so much information which one can never find on any website or forums. Now I know how it helps to talk to alumni and how much helpful it can be. This is one school I am surely applying to. I have Stanford on my list for sure as well and that’s mainly because of the focus on not for profit and social entrepreneurship. I can take a lot of learning out from the courses for non profit offered their and can work with some of the esteemed faculty on a social entrepreneurship project as well. Over the next few months I am sure there will be many more additions and deletions to the list J and a lot depends on the GAMT score.
