GMAT!!!!

It's been a while since my last post, and in that time I've taken my GMAT. The whole experience was actually quite relaxed and after all that hard work studying, it was satisfying to finally be taking the test. I startled myself and scored higher than I expected (the exact score will remain between me and GMAC) and I was very pleased.

I missed round 1 due to work commitments, so I'm focussing on round 2. So far, so good, I've got all my recommendations but one, and I've been hard at work writing my essays.

To put this all in perspective:

Round 2 So, after a good holiday, it's back to the books now. I've rescheduled my GMAT test as work was too hectic for me to have any time left to study. Went to a Stanford information reception the other day and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was relaxed (or at least, the adcom member doing the presentation was relaxed and so were the alumni), the presentation informative and the others present incredibly unbelievable. In a bad sense. It never ceases to amaze me how apathic people become at these kinds of gatherings, how all they can talk about is b-school, their very interesting jobs and ever so interesting ambitions. Why don't people lighten up a bit? Let their guard down and actually enjoy themselves. You can have fun and be witty and chatty and still be a good MBA candidate. Maybe I'm too strict, but somehow life if so much more fun and interesting if you realise that it's serious business, but not to be taken too seriously ;-)

IESE Had an interview with a member of the admissions committee of IESE the other week, and it was very pleasant. She confirmed my positive feelings about the school, and it was very informative and relaxed. IESE is definitely high up on my list. Great school, opportunity to learn Spanish properly (more than the two beer that I can order now), great city, great exchange program. I'm a bit worried about the extensive use of the case method, as I have little formal background in business, I could probably do a bit more with lectures. But I've spoken to people about this and they say it shouldn't really be a big problem.
