HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2007. May Interview Invites and Admission Offers fill your days. Cheers!

I am currently on a three week vacation and out of the country. I still haven't heard from MIT or Stanford.

Congratulations/Best wishes to those who have received admits recently/are awaiting offers.

We need SPCBA!

... or the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Business-school Applicants.

Like all normal B-School applicants, I get really excited when I see an email in the "2006Apps" folder of my Yahoo! account. It would not be a stretch to say that my heart skips a beat or two when I see that the sender is MIT Ad Com.

So now, why would you, if your name was "MIT Ad Com", send me an email with a "December Update" on MIT Sloan/LFM when I am waiting breathlessly for an interview call???

Hello? It is too late for marketing folks! I have ALREADY applied; spent three whole days on campus even. So would you please not be sooooo cruel. Please?

Of course, one can say that it is my fault for not anticipating what was in store when the email subject line read "December Update". But then, how am I to know what an MIT Sloan interview invite looks like? I haven't received one yet. I may retract my anguish-ridden statements once one of those pops into my inbox!
