Done with MBA applications

Whew!!! After 7 months of preparations, I am finally done with business school applications. Of course, I spent time preparing for the GMAT during that time. I would not recommend doing that. If I had to do it all over again, I would have taken the GMAT a year earlier. Then once I am comfortable with my GMAT score, I prepare my MBA applications. But I am all done.

So the waiting game begins. I applied to Maryland Smith, Georgetown McDonough, Berkeley Haas, UCLA Anderson, and University of Southern California Marshall. (When I get around to it, I will explain why I choose those schools.) With applications completed, I will need to be preparing for interviews. My strategy will include the following: collect possible interview questions, form my answers to those questions, and focus on key personal stories that can effectively answer those questions.

I already have received an interview request at Georgetown, and I schedule the interview that will take place in a couple of days. So I will be busy preparing and practicing the interview.

Why should I do now? This winter has felt pretty miserable. When spring comes around, I would like to hike more. I want to bring my dog for that. Salsa dancing and swing dancing were something my fiancee suggest we do. Tennis is something I would love to pick up again. Now I am free, I will looking for to relax a bit.
