Interview call for apps going complete on or after oct 26

Atleast the app process made me very introspective and increased my selfawareness :D

If you get double dinged - and I'm out here praying for you man - what do you think the issue might be? How were your essays?

I think i dont have extra curricular activities after college
just too many of them

also an inbalanced profile where I had enormous public speaking credentials as an undergrad and suddenly after college all that disappeared.

with 6 years in Indian IT I am just a tech lead where as my counterparts have become managers so I am possibly a below average candidate in the fiercely competetive Indian IT pool



but My gmat is 730 . I thought and with bot the schools interviewing 50% of applicants at least i would get a call. I know one girl with 710 GMAt last year from my company much junior to me in designation and years of experience got a call from Wharton

I think my essays are good (at least i think)

God only knows

PM me an essay or two, let me have a peek and I'll tell you (privately) what I think. Ideally, send one "package" (that is, all of one school).

Dinged from GSB

Awaiting wharton tomorrow

I know why. We can fix this together for R2. Don't despair. It's going to take me a while to type up what I need to type up, but I will do so today if I can.

that's tough luck, man... sorry for you... and keep my fingers crossed that you hear positive from W tomorrow!

Thanks a lot helg and rhyme

venky, sorry to hear you got dinged from GSB. I think rhyme has offered you some free feedback and I was wondering if you could possibly share some of his feedback here, so that we can learn from your mistakes. I know its a tough pill to swallow, but I think we can learn from each other's mistakes.

BTW, I am also still waiting for my Wharton invite. Don't think it's coming.

I will but did you get a call from GSB?

Hey Venky,

Sorry 'bout the bad news.

I am still awaiting the Wharton invite as well...Less than two days remain...

Not at all, really. What are your plans for R2?

May be seek feed back from successful candidates do more introspection
change recomenders.
In r1 i applied to 8 colleges and I feel tht was too much between sep5 to oct15 I submitted 8 apps. I think i have not done justice to my essays

I feel in R2 i will apply to just 2 colleges

Check your PMs.

The last message from you says that You couldnt make out the questions
so i sent you in word format the questions and the numbered essays.

You are too fast... I hit submit on the PM right after I posted that!

Wow. What 8?
