Update on my Applications

Hi Folks,

It has been really long that I have put an update on my current application status

So without wasting much time here you go......

NYU Stern-Dinged

ISB- Dinged

UNC Kenan flagler- had an interview - Dinged

Said OXFORD-Dinged

Mays Business School-Accepted! Ye Ye Ye :-)

William and Mary-Accepted! Ye Ye Ye :-)

Indiana Kelley-Dinged

Weatherhead School of Management-Accepted! Ye Ye Ye :-)

Carnegie Mellon-Accepted! Ye Ye Ye :-)

Georgia Tech - NA (I say N.A as I do not wish to know the status of this application either,One important fact is one wishes to have reciprocation and communication with a school when you apply and I have had zilch communication from here and when enquired I was told I would not be given updates through emails and If there is a positive response it would be through surface mail and not an email ..How rediculous is this in this techie world I ask in the name of lord??)

I have made my mind and have decided to pursue my MBA @ MAYS .It makes me feel really good that my application ,profile,academics,background was respected here , also this was my last interview and brought out the best out of me ..extra pust..extra effort..extra mile..

But all what I can say today is the whole process has made me a better implementer ,a better analyser and most importantly a better thinker .It brought out the best out of me which would not have been the case if it was a cake walk.I cherish this experience and today I am totally satisfied with what I have accomplished.

cheers!!

What is the mantra of success a million dollar question!

Hang in there,Is that a secret to success?
Always I question is this the mantra of success..May be it is right .I feel we are all lucky to be born in an age where things are much simpler,It is easy to dream big as we have seen tons of people turning there dreams to reality.Most important thing that NRN has done i believe is not building a Infosys but making many worth their salt believe that they can also create Infosys .
But the disadvantage of the advantage I talked about above is that we get flustered easily..Yesterday I was surprised when the news of a one of our projects going to one of the competitor broke and I had few freshmen hardly 6 months into the industry coming to me and asking me what should we do?
My answer to all such people is learn from the situation..Enjoy it and prepare your self for the big wave of oppurtunities that is going to come by in future worry is not going to solve anything.
Human tendency is to look for results and not talk about the hardwork,
We always ask if I do this will I get there ...I have also asked these questions zillions of times
My strong belief is things have to be bad for something good to happen,what does monotonous boring work give birth to ??
Answer is simple ground breaking Innovation.
If you want to be a part of it prepare yourself ........
