In the last phase of my apps (self decided) my anxiety levels are running high.
ISB - The more I see profiles of people who've made it, it seems more and more competitive to me... it scares me and the result is not until the 15th
Duke - they don't want to interview me. 'Not Invited' for interview. Interestingly many people I met during ISB interview had applied to only one US school which was Duke! I wonder what the fascination is, I guess everyone has their own reasons and Duke does have one of the highest percentage of international candidates.
Cornell - One of the visitors to my linkedin profile in last one week was 'someone from cornell'. They have sent first round of interview invites including to some Indians. I don't know if I'm getting any now.
NYU Stern - They seem to have rejected many Indians from round 1 and many international are waitlisted without interviews. Also no one has taken a look at my youtube essay 3 till now so I don't know what will happen thr.
I'm anxious and depressed and working on plan C all at the same time. To keep myself occupied I'm doing salsa, tennis and spanish regularly. And I still have time at hand!
Can't sit idle. For all those who're reading my blog, if you need any tips on preparation, help with school research or essay review - just drop me a line and I'll find time to help you with it.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI just chanced your blog via BTG and have been reading it for more than an hour now. You gotta a good one girl.
I too work around gachibowli area preparing for GMAT at the moment.
All the best for your apps(must be waiting for the final offers now).
Thanks Avanika, I hope you find something useful in my blogs. Not much luck with the admits yet but i've seen many Indians get through only in the second year. And I'm no prodigy. Another month till I have to gear up for next year admits.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with GMAT!!
