My new blog is going through multiple identity crises. Given my varied interests (more about this later), this was initially supposed to be a mish-mash of postings about all those interests.
However, the last three months of my life have centered around one thing and one thing alone - Getting into business school at either Columbia or NYU (personal reasons for staying in NYC). And in this process, I have found great comfort in reading about other applicants' trials, victories and downfalls. So, to fuel the obsession further, I am throwing my hat into the MBA Blogger ring and converting this blog, atleast for now, into a forum for documenting my journey through the MBA process.
The story so far:
After almost two years of agonizing decision-making (read: flipping a coin to decide whether to mba or not), Desigal decides to give up the life of a code monkey and have a go at applying for an mba in 2005. After taking the GMAT in mid '05, gets cold feet at the prospect of giving up a comfortable job with flexible hours, a good-if-you're-living-anywhere-but-in-nyc income, going into debt and living the student life for two years. Finally, after much procrastination, decides to give it a last-minute shot. Gets into Stern (yay!) and still agonizing over Columbia.
Coming up:
Waiting for Columbia... Stern Admit Weekend... Quitting my job... Figuring out what I want to do post-MBA...
Stay tuned!

Welcome to blog-land!!
Congratulations on Stern and WELCOME!
Congrats on Stern, good luck with CBS and welcome!
as part of the mba blog-land's initiation ritual, you must visit every blog on hella's list and congratulate the blogger's on their various admits, genuflect and tell them how wonderful they are. then you must promise yourself that you will not check for updates more than 10 times a day. the next step is to add a "sitemeter" to your blog and obsessively monitor the activity on your site.
welcome to the brotherhood (or sisterhood if you prefer) :).
awww! i feel so LOVED! thanks for all the comments and the congrats guys n gals. given that i already spend around 50% of my waking hours working my way towards Carpal Tunnel by constantly hitting refresh on hella, bw, my gmail acct, the cbs status site (just in case the mail didn't come through), i think it would be a minor task to congratulate each and every mba blogger on his/her accomplishment.
dont think..act on it!
:)
that was my exact problem..procrastination...but then you gotta dive..head first and see how well you can swim...
welcome to the blogdom and congrats on Stern
