Thanks greenoak,

I think it may be a case of "last man standing" from all the waitlisters of 2008, good candidates like catgmat just moved on to other offers and I was left to compete with just me :). Anyway it'll be a LONG 12 months now. Maybe a long holiday / world trip is in the making - who knows. The news is still just sinking in for now.

Many congratulations bsd_lover!

I hope the impact of the offer would have sunk to some extent by now and the mind would be freer to enjoy and care for other things of your life.

Best of luck!

Hey BSD!

CONGRATULATIONS! I am very happy for you! After all the DINGS and Waitlist Updates you finally got your offer and can exit the Zero Admit Club :lol: !

All the best and a relaxed year until September 2009!

Cheers,

Thanks cat, its a shame you wont be there with me. I believe you had just as good a chance had you decided to stick it out for one year. Ah well, probably see you at the MBAT ;)

I just read your post in the AGSM topic and came here -- that's awesome news, bsd_lover! Congrats!

I'm a newer member, but it has been quite a journey reading your story as I first came on the boards, and well-deserved for you. Hope I'll be able to join you in London next year!
