On Feb 1, 2006 I walked out of my job and started studying for my GMAT. It's hard to believe that its been 412 days since, but today 3/23/2007, my application process comes to a sudden and commanding end.

The Admissions Committee has recently reviewed the wait list applications for the Two-Year Program at the Kellogg School of Management . Despite your many merits as a candidate, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in the entering class.
It doesn't come as a surprise considering my lackluster half-assed effort to get off the list (I didnt even visit campus), but two things are certain now:
1) GSB here I come!
2) Fat chance Northwestern gets any more alumni donations from me! HAH!
A part of me is sad for what might have been, a part of me is angry, a part of me feels kind of teary eyed, but somehow, I'm sitting here with a big fat grin on my face. It's finally over. In its entirety. No more maybe's, no more what ifs, just total and complete closure. In a wierd way, I almost feel like celebrating. Thats it - no more wondering about anything, there are no other options. It feels strange really, but it also feels like a huge weight taken off my shoulders.
412 days. I guess its true when they say the hardest part of grad school is getting in.
