Back to Business

A hell lot of work to finish for Round 2 , so many pending essays that I am getting real tensed right now. All my recommendations have been collected, all the exam stuff is over - now, I can finally just think about the essays. Berkeley is back from the shadows and I need to start on wrapping up those essays. A real exciting month waits ahead of me - so good to be back in business.

First of all, I would like to say that I am thankful for all the tremendous support I have got from my blog readers - I really appreciate all your comments and helpful tips. I would add one more thing - whatever I write here is not "made up" but actually what I feel - there is no pretension here. Berkeley is the only thorn and I should say that it is unfair to judge a school just on a single experience ; so I have decided to visit the school once more and attend the info session. I would also like to point out that every school has its pros and cons and Berkeley is no exception. To all the first years who have emailed me - thanks a bunch; I have no doubt in my mind that Berkeley is a great school and as you all have suggested I would visit the school once more since it is so close to where I live.

I have decided that I am going to write an additional essay for Berkeley since I have time and space - why waste it? I am almost done with the drafts of Berkeley ; I just need to arrange them appropriately - run some further proofreading and edits and submit the application asap. I have a great feeling about this entire application process and I am absolutely confident that the right school with the right fit will admit me whatsoever.

I have a message to all those arrogant snoots who boast about their schools and show disrespect to other people ; remember the arrogance will come back to haunt you once you join the business world - everyone is on the same platform once you graduate and you have to work with grads from other schools.
I have discovered that every school is fill with people of such character [it's absolutely impossible for the admission committees to filter those pretentious beasts]....

[[ Just got off the phone with Ria - had a good conversation about where technology is headed - especially the semiconductor industry. We discovered the analogy between the semiconductor industry of recent years and the steel industry during Industrial Revolution. Semiconductor industry was the last to get affected and would be the first one to revive. Today, Applied Materials came up with some positive data. Great Sign for us - the future BSchoolers. At the same time apprehension about missing the window of opportunity. Destiny is Ironic..]]

Arrogance is an absolute turn-off for me - I would hate to go to a school filled with snobs with their irrevocable characteristics.
My aim is to learn as much as I can without loosing my individuality. I am anxiously waiting for that experience and hence this wait process is becoming more and more difficult.

Once again, thanks for showing all the love and Best of Luck to all of you :)
Take care till then..
