I completed Columbia and Chicago.

Haas I am dropping becuase I am just plain lazy. I cant think anymore about these essays - this is my cold truth

I showed Rhyme my essay drafts and he concurred - so it has passed the test, sorta but the essays need more work.

UCLA is still there.. I am going to that school just becuase its in Beverly Hills - translation - ton of blonde hotties..not that I will have time to do some social mingling, but hey.. the carrot has to be dangled in front of the donkey.

And now if you will excuse me, I heard that a new nightclub has opened in Hollywood called the Opera - time for me to wipe off the dust from my dancing shoes..

Wow, nice! You already showed rhyme your drafts for both schools and "passed the test"? that's impressive! I'm thinking rhyme will probably shred mine to bits... then again, you did start quite a while ago when I was still studying for the GMAT ;)

Do you currently live in the LA area? Have a good time if you do go out! I'll keep working on Haas...

Hmm. I wonder during the apps process.. how many people's relationships take a hit?

I know mine did... she left me and said that i was too obsessive with the mba... :(

The post application wait is hell. One day you feel that a massive reject is headed your way, and then you get an interview invite and start wondering what was Stanford thinking when they rejected you in Round 1.

Be patient. It usually works out fine.

One day, while thinking about an essay or while drafting one, I start feeling very strongly about my candidacy. It feels as if Wharton and Stanford will have a very hard time dinging me. But the next day, while thinking about the same essay and about my candidacy, I start feeling that even Emory will give me a straight ding (No offense meant for Emory - honest!!).

So, are (were) you guys also as confused as me about your candidacy?

Hah! You think its bad now???

Just wait until you hit submit and then end up waiting to hear back. Especially if its rolling admissions like Kellogg and EVERY SINGLE DAY for like a month, EVERY email, EVERY phone call and EVERY blackberry buzz your heart stops for a split second "Is that them? Could it be them?"

Or, if you were fortunate enough not to apply to a school that has rolling admissions... then you have the same to look forward to - but at least its condensed to the one or two days decisions come out... and you do absolutely nothing at work but hit refresh all day long on the threads waiting for your phone to ring - and if it does, and it just happens to be a friend - god help them for having called you that day (I had a friend with an 847 number call me on the day Kellogg started releasing admits. What a punk).... and then you get all super paranoid when the clock hits 5pm because you feel like that must be it, but of course they are still making calls....

You guys have so much to look forward to. :)

Wow Rhyme....I see a devilish satisfaction in that post of yours...I can clearly see the depth of feeling you underwent...Well...I always feel a knot in my throat whenever I think of the decisions...
