Phase Two
Now that I am done with my MIT application, (it has been a couple of weeks since) I have more time to reflect on the application process and what I want to do differently for Columbia and Michigan. But since the status of my Stanford app went to "Complete and Under Review", it has been difficult to focus on writing further essays. I have heard that MIT does not actually update the applicants' accounts but I know that they must have started reviewing files by now. I am growing very anxious and am very tempted to check out the BW boards (that I try to avoid) on the matter.
Historically, Stanford's interview invites start trickling out in the fourth week of November and MIT's on the last day of November. A week to go ...
I still am very excited about my applications to CBS and Michigan, as if they are puzzles for me to solve using the clues I have from past experiences (Stanford,MIT). I am working on the CBS application right now and I swear that Essay 1 had a thousand word limit the last time I looked.
The 750 word limit does force me to rewrite the Why-Why essay which is a good thing. Having visited the school and met with so many current students and alumni, I have a tad too many things to say in this essay. Also, I was talked into considering B-school by a CBS alum in the first place. So for a long time, 'CBS' and 'B-School' were interchangeable in my mind.
The promotion (to Director) that I was looking for has not happened yet. Meanwhile, I have an offer from another firm that bumps my pay up big time :) I also managed to double my paid vacation time in my negotiations. All the soul searching I did for my applications did pay off in the (job) interview. Now I need to snoop around to find out if indeed I will be made Director at my present firm and I have approximately 24 hours to do it in. Either way, my profile should receive a boost.
Congratulations to all who received interview invites from their target schools! All the best to those who lie in wait. As an ardent sports fan, I am extremely superstitious. But it is easier to wear a 'lucky' sweatshirt for an entire basketball game than to wear a lucky shirt for three straight weeks. So I am trying to find a 'lucky' object that I can carry around all the time.

Ye, CBS changed Essay 1 from 1000 words to 750 words and also changed Essay 2 from ethical dilemma to which leader do u admire most (or something on those lines); you might wanna chk that out...
And ya, good luck with your impending promotion or move to a firm! :) I could use the extra vacation time ;)
There is favorably lot to be made in this regard and hopefully these would either help students to bring around the vital concerning objects. oncology personal statement
