Falling behind

I seem to be falling behind on my application process. I've got the stories lined up for almost all my essays for the schools I'm applying to but I'm not able to find the time to pen them down.

Work's literally killing me, with more and more projects coming our way (which is actually a good thing) but that's not helping me in my app-ing. I'm staying up till 1AM working and talking to clients and the mornings are jam packed. Least I could do was write a "significant accomplishment" essay. I feel these kind of essays are a lot easier to write as they pretty much have a pre-defined structure, or they say CAR(cause-action-result) structure, of what is asked rather than those abstract ones where we would have to struggle as much for getting the structure right as for writing the content.

I initially planned for 5 schools in R1, I guess I have to cut that list short to 4 and focus on them and apply for the other one in R2. But I already have 2 more schools in R2. Seems like a wild-ride for me, this fall&winter.

I guess I never posted my list of schools on the blog. I'll do that very soon - positively by 2nd Sept. But again, I procrastinate :)

Recommenders Confirmed

I guess I've been pretty lazy in posting about my updates, but you got to see the title of my blog before asking about it.

Anyways, the thing is that I talked to my potential recommenders and all 3 of them confirmed their willingness to write a reco for me. No, I am not applying to HBS but I just asked 3 people wondering if one of them may not be so favorable, but luckily none did so.

So, with that done I can turn my attention to a bit more research on my list of schools and start off with the essays in a couple of weeks.

Nevertheless, work's killing me and after adding 2 more customers, it has been quite hectic. So, I need to balance between the two to start very soon
