The essay-writing machine

I feel like I have become some kind of essay-writing monster the past few weeks. First it was Haas and then Michigan (which is almost done) and now starting with Kellogg.

Writing pages upon pages of "why/what/how/" about myself has been quite a task !

Which makes me think.....I wonder what the heck I was doing in the Spring months after finishing my GMAT in Jan. I spent so many months and weeks at that point celebrating my "average" score which could have been so fruitfully spent visiting campuses, talking to students etc.

If I had put some more effort at that time, I guess I wouldn't have landed in the state that I am in now.

Anyways, no point talking about the past. The best thing to do now is to put my best foot forward and hope everything turns out well.

Working on my Kellogg essays now.....These are by far the most comprehensive set of essays I have see. Answering them all well should give the adcom a good idea of who I am and where I am headed. Most of the people i know applied to K in R1. As always, I like to be different (and wrong!) and so here I am introspecting, with less than a month for submission.

A Kellogg aluminus had said that Kellogg looks at how the applicant is going to help Kellogg post MBA.

oops,

Thanks. One Indian guy had reported an interview in PG. I have a feeling a number of invites should come post-holidays. Good luck.
