Let me wear a suit, please !

Yes, please someone let me wear a suit. Throughout the application process of 2009-10, I haven't had a chance to wear a suit that I bought specifically for bschool interviews I expected I would have to appear for :) Alas, that didn't happen. The only interviews I had (Kellogg and Tepper) were both telephonic and I took them at home in casual wear (it was as casual as it can get).

So, I guess I need to save that suit and dust it, if required, next year and this blog too  !
Adios till then (unless I have some really exciting news to talk about) !

Baby Sitting the Economy by Paul Krugman

I guess would-be and wannabe MBAs could learn some valuable lessons from 2008's Nobel Prize in Economics winner, Paul Krugman.

Go ahead, read the following article, I bet you wouldn't be awed if you haven't heard of economics

Baby-Sitting the Economy

to all MIT Sloan aspirants... bad news!! Krugman is moving to Princeton

Stats make me sick!

Why-o-why in the world did I land in the IT industry.


Ever since I seriously started thinking of my MBA , I've constantly been bugged by this question. Every year the number of Indian IT male applicants(of course the females too, but there is a gender bias on the school's part) to an international b-school has been steadily increasing and it comes to no surprise that, the AdComs have realized our potential and have made it a point to cut down on us.

It seems as if an AdCom saw a profile stating - 26-27/M/Indian/IT industry, without a second's thought they would say - oh, not another one- and off you go into the trashcan.

Need to prove myself different - ya I did community service, I have some accomplishments outside work, yada yada yada !!. Now who doesn't do that and applies for an MBA. So what else makes us different from each other. One goes to the US, the other to Europe , someone to China and someone to Australia... does it really make a different what country you worked in when you do the samething ...I dont think so

Let's figure out who's accepted and who's dinged!

God bless y'all (of course, me included) Indian IT MBA aspirants
