Good start to 2005

Finished three of my apps on Wednesday, feeling relieved and knackered now. I hasn't sunk in yet, that I have actually submitted three of my four applications. After thinking about it for 18 months, I have finally submitted..... Now only one more left (IESE) and then the long wait will start, first for the interview invites and then for the results.

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.

Wharton Winter reception Last night an Italian whom I had talked to for a bit at a Wharton Winter reception came up to me when he left and said he'd learned more from me than from the guy who was doing the reception....Hmmmmm. I guess if I don't get in at b-school, I could always be one of those people at trade fairs trying to sell some widgie.... The reception itself was nice, the talk reasonably informative, the crowd a bit quiet although I have been at events where the crowd was even duller. But the disappointment for me came at the drinks afterwards. I talked to a few people and asked them why they were interested in Wharton, and what they wanted from an MBA. Wrong question. They wanted their ticket punched. They didn't have anything remotely interesting or passionate to say about why MBA. Getting their ticket punched. Big sigh. And what keeps on surprising me is that all these guys (and yes, they are mostly guys) are all so bloody serious. Yes, an MBA is serious business, but it is also just an MBA. Have a little fun, lighten up. I always wonder what these people think of themselves as...
