Three Down!

The last Tuck essay finally closed out with a bang. I was so thrilled that I was pumping my fist and jumping around the room.

But it also confirmed my concern from yesterday that I submitted the Yale app too soon. A re-tooled version of the Tuck life experiences essay was what should have gone in my Yale personal statement.

Oh well. What can you do.....

My full-time apps are done! I can feel my blood pressure drop to normal and my aches and pains drift away as I sit here typing this out. This has been an interesting experience regardless of whether I get into any of the three programs that I applied to.

Having submitted my apps, I realize that my work experience, history of extras through college and my international perspective/experience really are strengths. But my crappy GMAT may actually keep me out of each program.

Starting next week I venture into the world of part-time and executive MBA programs. Based on my initial research I'll be starting on the lower end of both age and experience ranges. But, my international perspective/experience should give me the boost necessary to get in.

Ok! Time for an early lunch, short meetings and maybe a 'clear the head' run.
