News, but not so good...

Folks,
SUNY Buffalo it was, where I applied, got an admit, and had accepted it by paying 10,000 INR. Unfortunately, received a feedback from the fellow indian students over there that, the institute was just an average B-school, with no real scope of getting good jobs or internships. A lot of things were at stake... This comparison of things compelled me to take a decision with my family that I will not attend UB SOM. I will give the GMAT Again, aim at a better score, and target the next 3-4 years my best to get into a "Top B-school" which is preferably 1 year. Although things on the personal front are pretty weird too, and from a place where I stand, it seems increasingly difficult to obtain what you call a balance in my schedule and life in general.

I hope everything turnes out to be good. Moreover, I have another chance at the GMAT, where I think chicken-pox infection played a big spoilsport. This time around, I would not like to have any exceptions for a descent score. What B-schools am I targetting now? Nobody knows.

Perhaps, I will decide after I get my GMAT report. Which is the right thing to do I guess. I will keep blogging my journey through all this on a regular basis now.


I am currently on a lookout for GMAT coaching classes, some in question are Veritas (career launcher), IMS Deccan, and Princeton review amongst others. I will take a decision about which one to join by this weekend. Also have a phenomenal startup idea in my mind, which I plan to work on if I get some time.

Ok this is getting quite lengthy and monotonous, so is my work at office... Looking for a change, but I love my company, and will try and stay loyal.
