Done

Yep done! Any realistic chance I had at my top choice schools got shot down last week. Over 6 months of preparation, research and application were crushed.

Took the GMAT the other day. I felt good going in. I even felt good through the test. The essays were average as anticipated. The Quant felt good. When I hit the Parabola question, I was convinced I was gonna hit my intended 50 score. The Verbal started horribly. But I regrouped and felt like I was headed in the right direction. As the comp started calculating my score, I thought ok maybe not 750 but likely 680-700. Then the score popped on the screen. I couldn't friggin move. I actually scored lower than 550. Yep close to 200 friggin hours wasted for what?

So yeah, I'm done! I am gonna go through and submit my apps. But it's just a formality to test the theory of if they'd even read let alone consider the app of someone who has a crappy GMAT and isn't a gopher for some world leader.

Just been a tough weekend getting over the this test score BS. I'm glad I had finished most of my essays. Cause the motivation rug got yanked the hell off.

I'll still be sending in a donation to HBS, SOM and Tuck. But with no anticipation of even an interview invite from either HBS or SOM. I already did my Tuck interview during my class visit. I will do a debrief of the Tuck interview sometime for anyone else who may find it useful.

This blows in the worst friggin way. But hey, maybe there's a reason why I enjoy managing teams of smart people. Cause I can't do the frigging math myself! Can you tell that I'm ticked off with myself?

Well on the bright side I made a cool 250% profit on my investments in just 3 months sold everything off and on the prowl for my next target! Now I sit back and wait for the market to collapse again. I love those 300 point down days! Hopefully early next year.

Merry Christmas for those celebrating the holiday and a Happy Festivas for the rest of us!
