Dealing with it

Been a long weekend in more ways than one. Finally got over the fact that it's too late to do anything about my lousy GMAT. I am back to reviewing my essays and finalizing the datasheets for the upcoming Round 2 deadlines.

Just a few minor adjustments to the HBS set. Still debating the Tuck diversity essay. Not quite finalized on the SOM optional. Having difficulty narrowing down on both Tuck and SOM topics.

Mainly focused on completing the HBS application this week. Then Tuck and SOM in that order during the week that follows.

Considered some other programs including Ross, McCombs, and Goizueta. But decided to take a look at part-time programs after considering the significant opportunity cost and ROI differential. I'll do detailed research and applications for the part-time programs later in Jan because those follow a slightly different admissions schedule.

So yeah, I'm dealing with it! Dealing with the fact that I scored on the bottom end of the 80 percent range for the three full-time programs I'm applying to. Dealing with the fact that I'm applying in spite of my admission chances being nil to none. I suppose I am that stubborn bastard some Admissions Consultants refer to as being unrealistic with no chance in hell. At least I have a slightly better chance than the one who never applied at all.
