Dropping MDI/NITIE/IIFT/SOM/SP/XL etc for Future CAT

karanmig

well guys i converted MDI PGPIM and IMT FINANCE this year in my first attempt..i even joined mdi pgpim but i was still confused whether i am satisfied with mdi or do i need iim?? but then finally the urge to be in iims took over and i applied for refund..although i believe mdi is a awesome place to be in and i think it may be even better then some iims in some respect but finally it has to be u who has to take a call..i realised that i may not be satisfied so i went for this risk..now here i am preparing for cat 08 and this time only for iims and going for a job..i dont know whether this risk will pay or not but atleast i will give my best shot and i hope god will help me..atleast i am satisfied that i may land up in iims..so guys take ur call and stick to ur decisions..tc..

wow Karan, u leaving MDI for IIMs thats passion! I can understand the feeling of that. I prepared for mba entrances last year throughout, but could not make it in any of national institute, now I can get Sydenahm or welingkar through Mh-cet, bt I am planning for cat08 only and taking job. so we both come under same roof!! All the best dude!!!

Do you know at what GMAT score can I get a call from MDI.
Being an Indian can i apply to MDI through GMAT?

well i guess this question was directed towards me..well a wrong place to ask this question but i will answer it..sorry mods..my scores were:
qa: a meagre 18 marks
va: 33 marks
di:52.XX marks

anyways what went wrong with me?? I guess bad strategy..see at that time i was confident about my di and quant..infact I would say I got overconfident about QA....now to compensate for my weak VA....I decided to give more time to VA..now i always do QA in the end..as a result of my va strategy i had only 35 mins left for QA at last...now this was the time when pressure took toll on me, due to less time remaining and I did some real silly mistakes in QA which i should had never done..so in short the pressure screwed me..had i not taken pressure i could have managed 25-30 in QA in 35 mins also and that would have done it for me..but anyways thats destiny!!.. so although i am no one to give you advice but i would advise you not to take any sort of pressure during that 150 mins..that 150 mins can make everything for you if dealt with properly....best of luck dude!!
