DINGED!

Got rejected at Columbia without interview. :( Although it hurts, I'm pretty much over it. Time to move on. Plus I didn't think I had that strong of a chance, does not seem to be an engineer friendly school, looking at the profiles.

One thing that sucks is that since columbia was my only round 1 school, and all applications are due in January, I have 4-5 months before I would hear of any acceptances or rejections. It's almost like putting your life on hold til march. Time to start working on my Essays again.

Here's my list.
Kellogg (since I've already interviewed)
Chicago (my number 1 choice)
Michigan Ross (Bumped of Berkeley because I like michigan program better)


Maybe:
Wharton (Hey a boy's gotta dream)
UCLA

That makes my applications a lot shorter. Since my class is kicking my butt, basicly since I've been doing so many things lately, I haven't done anything well. Grades are going into the trash. At least I'm done with Recruiting for UCLA, although it's only like 5 times, it's really tiring to talk for 2 hours straight.


Definitely feels like I've gotten to know the GMAT community a lot better now, since the chats are up. There is a chat right now about the new Business Week Rankings. Time to go check

Depending on what you want to do afterwards you might want to check out this program at Michigan:

http://www.tauber.umich.edu/

I think its a good match to engineering backgrounds, and could probably provide good fodder for essays. Probably not great if you're interested in Finance, although there is lots of room for Finance classes in the tail end of the program.

Don't feel too stressed about this MBA process. One thing to consider is applying to schools like UW or USC. Probably not a top option for a UCLA grad, but if it will take you where you want to go...

I'd do that instead of Wharton...

Good luck again.
