Its been almost a month since i blogged. This past month has been quite eventful for me. It started with GMAT and ended with submitting my second application. On the GMAT front, i have a good news and a bad news. The good news is that i managed to increase my score by 50 points. The bad news is that i still didn't touch the magic figure of 700. Adding to my woes, my score is a tad unbalanced. Before GMAT retake, i thought that i can boost my score by 80-100 points. But some how the whole thing didn't turn out the way i wanted it to. Looks like i underestimated those who told that increasing your score by 100 points is difficult.Nevertheless, i am able to convince myself that i did my best.
After GMAT, i have couple of weeks to send my application to Emory. I did a good thing by writing two drafts of essays for emory before the GMAT. I spent two weeks polishing the essays and ensured that my recommender's did their job.
I also submitted my application to UC Irvine. Unfortunately, Emory and Irvine share the same deadline, December 15th. I had to work real hard to submit both the applications. The good news is that i got application fee waiver for Irvine.
Its almost two weeks since i sent my transcripts to Emory and Irvine. But still the status says that my transcripts are not received. This might be because of the holiday season. I emailed the schools regarding the same and waiting for their reply.
Since i postponed all my applications to Round2, i don't have the luxury to take a vacation. But i managed to take a five day break from the whole thing after submitting these two apps.
My belated Christmas wishes to everyone.
I am currently working on my Ross, UNC and Purdue(Krannert) applications. I will try to be regular in blogging my progress. (i think this is the nth time i saying this).
