MBA Apps so far

It's pouring outside. Can't go home yet, and so I write this post.

This is one activity we've been involved in for sometime now. But, I've just not been in a mood to document it!

To begin with, I must admit that it's a completely satisfying satisfying experience in terms of getting to know about oneself. What're you strengths, weaknesses, goals, failures, perspectives etc. Kind of represents who you are to the Adcom of the University.

Our first app was for INSEAD. The apps went off well - so did our interviews. Now, the waiting game till September 10th.

Meanwhile, IIM-A has shortlisted both of us for an interview. This one's going to be very tough!

The questions for the essays are as below:

1. What do you expect to gain from the PGPX at IIMA?
2. Describe a situation in your life that demonstrates your leadership qualities.
3. Describe the single event or achievement that has significantly influenced your life.
4. Give a description of yourself, stressing the personal characteristics you feel are your strengths and weaknesses.
5. Any other information that you believe may help us make a decision on your application.

I'm goign to recycle most of my INSEAD essays. The Why IIM-A question needs some research. But, neither of us has the same enthu to research and find out about faculty as much as we did for INSEAD. God, God, God - please get us into INSEAD!
