I remember reading this much earlier in the year and thinking "how bad it could it really be?". Well, now the Phase 5 emotional roller coaster is taking me for a ride and if I keep deferring my Rd 1 schools there won't be any left.

Phase 6 and wondering if I will ever make phase 7. More wondering if I will stay employed until phase 7, given the amount time I spent shootin' the breeze on these forums between 8am-8pm.

My phases were more like...

1.) Business school sounds good but I don't want to take the GMAT.

2.) Ok, I'll take the GMAT. Wow finance is easy, but high school math is apparently difficult. 550 here I come.

3.) Wow the verbal is a joke...but how did I not fail out of 9th grade math?

4.) Ok, September 1st I'll take it.

5.) Ok, October 1st I'll take it.

6.) October 17th, ok finally took it. 710, works for me. Who needs geometry?

7.) Ok, decent score, I'll apply to 8 schools.

8.) Wow these essays are annoying, ok 4 schools.

9.) Ok, 3 schools, I'll be done by Christmas.

10,) Ok, 2 schools, I'll be in by the R2 deadline.

11.) Ok, I don't care where I go now, I'm just tired of waiting for decisions.
