Big(gish) Day!

Took the GMAT and scored within the acceptability range of the school of my choice. So, pleased to have got this out of the way but the score is not close enough to what I was expecting! ;-) Mais, c'est la vie et je suis content! :-) Looking out of the kitchen window this morning, I saw a full rainbow and I thought it must be a sign of luck! After all, how often does one get to see a full rainbow on a cloudy day at breakfast time? Question is, when is lady luck visiting me?

All that's left now is for the school's pre-selection committee to tell me if I have gone through to the interview stage or not - I really hope they do because I want this MBA! The day I get in will be the BIG day! The future is bright, the future is NOT orange - it is a tinge of blue and white! :-) Allez Les Bleus!

GMAT: Am I cracking it or is it cracking me?

Well, well things are definitely brightening up on this front. Having exhausted my GMATPrep tests, I downloaded POWERPREP, the older cousin of GMATPrep and took the first test this morning. D-day is nearing and I have just hit 700+ - goes well to boost my self confidence.

So, overall, really pleased with the way things are going. I have also been surfing and reading a lot of GMAT and MBA related sites and have listed a few here but I bet you know them already!

GMAT

It would be ideal to take one's GMAT first and then apply to the school(s) of one's choice but I made my application first to be followed with the unofficial score to meet the deadline. For the last month or so, I have been using my lunch breaks to study for GMAT - not easy to study at home when one has a little boy who is more interested in playing and tearing the pages of the official GMAT guide - probably blaming it for distracting daddy away! The test date is coming up soon and I have only managed to try out the simulated versions twice though I must say the scores were not too bad. The school's entry score range was apparently 600-730 in 2005 and I am well within this (not too difficult, I guess!). So, I am quietly confident. Let's just hope it is as easy, or difficult, on the actual day as it is on my PC today!

The dawn...

I guess the first time I realised I was heading for an MBA was when I told my infant son to cry less often so that he adds more value to his cries! :-) I have applied to a certain MBA school in continental Europe but, as with a lot of things in life, there is no guarantee, no guarantee that I will ever get in. So, let's start simple and conclude here and more will follow if the journey ahead is not just an open stretch of road.
