Lol I had to share this one...Wharton dealt me a royal ding after ceremoniously inviting me for an interview then as if that vote of no confidence wasn't bad enough the message seems to be get out of Philly too... my roommate informed me yesterday that a couple of Wharton admits are really interested in our place and are coming to view it tonight and they are quite a handful so much so that she had to schedule them in hourly intervals from like 6p.m. or something...yeah I know we agreed to put the place up for rent and so sooner or later we were going to have prospectives viewing the place...I din't expect it to be this soon and to be replaced by Wharton admits!!!! I kind of feel like Tony Blair right now...

Hey bsd, I'm not sure of my exact plans but in another twist of fate I got a CBS interview invite yesterday so right now am focusing on that although still not trying to get my hopes too high coz doing so only to get my last ding would officially wipe me out emotionally. Besides that I am still actively pursuing my plans of finding a job in business abroad and studying for a GMAT retake. If any of the above doesn't fall through then perhaps I'll keep my job and find another apartment in Philly.

Guys, hang in there. I havent seen anyone taking dings as well as you are and that includes me. I am yet to get back on my feet after the severe blows. I have started thinking of retaking the GMAT but i dont feel like studying at all :(
