thanks, rhyme! great job.

made me want to come to GSB even more, if it's possible :-D

You like the drinking from a firehouse approach eh?

Through a coctail straw!

LOL

I became a father today :-D It's a girl!

Should I write about this in my next WL update for GSB?

How will this help me contribute to the school culture?

How this will help me to demonstrate cinstant improvement of my leadership/teamwork skills? :lol:


helg, congrats! I think being a father will help you put things into perspective. You won't care about GSB or any other school for about 2 - 3 months. Trying to get some sleep will remain your top priority until about May / June.

Cheers! L.

Congratulations and as your profile image says, You certainly "did" it ! You are a genius managing applications with a baby on the way. Hope you get off the waitlist soon.

Congratulations, helg! That's wonderful!

I actually just saw this on the admissions blog for Chicago GSB... it's aimed at mothers in business school, but it's got some info on resources for parents in Hyde Park/Chicago: https://chicagogsb-dsac.blogspot.com/200 ... d-mba.html
