Will this hard work payoff???

Hey ppl,

The answer to that question is..... maybe...... I don't know, don't wanna know or am not interested in knowing the answer at all. I know I'm not making any sense, but it is hard to make sense when you have to do two applications simultaneously, manage 5 recommendations, cater to 7 essays and fill hundreds of calculated characters (not words!!! that would've been easy!!)...... and still dream of making the deadline Early Action.

Yes I'm talking of course about the stress and pressure I've been in the last some days. HBS R1 and Duke E.A are on the same day, making it a Time Management-101 course for me. And then there is work. I wonder sometimes that had I not obsessed about B-School for so long, had I not had the levels of super human (nearly unvawering) motivation, or had I not yearned for that crimson envelope with every molecule of my being, I would have been easily fatigued enough to leave the process and run. The same is true for my blogger friends.

No wonder I believe that getting into IIMs is a piece of cake as compared to getting into HBS, or any top 10 for that matter. You have to do so much to show that you are a "well rounded" applicant, not some "usual" nerdo with a 790 GMAT, which BTW are aplenty in my country. It is not like you get a 99.9%ile on the CAT and POOF!!! You're in!!!!

We're all working our asses off for that dream admit. And to think that the whole blogosphere is trembling with the Citi Assist news is disturbing. I for one am not perturbed by all of this hooplaah surrounding the $$$. Am I a direct relation of Mukesh Ambani??? No, I still haven't figured out how I will pay for the MBA (even the security deposit!!). Yes, it should sound stupid (to the point of arrogance) but guys, seriously, what are we fretting about again???
"Will we get the MONEY, IF we GET INTO one of those $150k+ schools (with <30% selectivity and uber-competition)????"
Notice the bolded uncertainity above.

Furthermore, if we do get in, we should realize that it is not a one way road. The school needs us as much as we need the school coz without us, the school would be empty. So, I am more than a 100% sure that the school will figure out something if it can't get the amount of loans as before. Maybe they'll grant more scholarships, maybe they'll increase the assistantships, maybe they'll figure something else out. Remember guys, it is not a one sided love, if it were, you wouldn't get the admit in first place, and so, still have nothing to worry about.
So chill guys, and enjoy this breakneck ride of the apps..........
Till next submissions....

Peace

Totally relate with your thoughts. On a sidenote, when schools can filter us out based on our career goals if they don't see that such goals can be met by an MBA from their school, why should they not do the same if they feel international applicants are going to have a tough time submitting the fees as well landing a job post MBA? I agree that this line of thinking doesn't help. Hence atb for your dual submissions!!
