Back to square one

I am back wondering if applying to MBA programs was the right move at this point in my career. I mean, I have just two years of experience to write about and my not too distant undergrad record sucks. What was I thinking when I pressed submit on that Columbia app y'day? 215 f***in' USD - up in smoke. Seriously, what happened to that quantitative geek in me that was oh-so-deeply in love with financial engineering. Where did I lose my way? I think I got carried away by my GMAT score. And the glamour and allure of an MBA got to me. Damn these MBA bloggers :P

Now that I've woken up to the reality. What can I do? Try to apply to quant finance programs now? I think I'm now a little too far along to change course. What is the contingency plan if I get rejected at all schools? I have too much to think about and too many decisions to make right now.

Maybe, an NYU interview invite will put brakes on my paranoid rant about how bschool was a bad choice in the first place. Is someone from Greenwich village listening?

NYU application sent!

Finally! I've managed to let go of one of my applications. Submitted barely hours before the round 1 deadline after an all-nighter on wednesday night. I re-read my essays again today. Bad mistake. I don't feel very good about my essay 1. Anyways, nothing much can be done now except to cross fingers and pray. Let's see. Now on to Chicago and LBS applications. Also, moved IESE application to Jan 16 deadline.

By the way, a friend of mine asked me minutes ago why I had titled my blog "Dateless Dairy" and only then did I notice that glaring error that has been existent like forever! Of course, I meant to title it Dateless Diary!! Changed it now. I feel so stupid.
