After GI2, I gave myself a 50-50 chance .. now I give myself a 30% chance of making it. If this wait goes on longer, I'll be plumbing further depths. The call that I made today morning didn't help either.
I don't think I envy people who have converted other calls, but d*** I would love to be in your shoes, ppl. I have this one call alone and only I know what this means to me. I know there are many ppl who are sailing in the same boat - workex + only SPJ call. Every year the competetion seems to get tougher and I get older. I tell myself, let the results come and I don't care whether I make it or not, let the results just come. But then I get scared .. what if I am not in? I know I am just lying to myself .. I want them to come and I want to get the admit call too. I'll probably die waiting .. but gimme the call please!!
Now that SPJ has still not announced the results today, even the weekend seems to be destined for tension. Well .. life goes on |
Regd GI experiences... ditto here... AFter GI-1, i was darn confident tht even if only 1 is selected, it wud be me... & after GI2, the situation was totally reverse... if they have to reject one guy, i felt it wud be me...
Anyway, it feels better to know tht other people have similiar exps in GI-2...
I know the wait is torturous (but is not anything worth having, worth waiting for) & i know it wud b hard to accept (& absolutely normal) if SP ding u/me in the end BUT than as u said 'life goes on...' & who knows there's something better in store 4 u...
i'll like to quote a real-life example of my frnd here... we both joined the same branch in engg... my frnd always used to study very hard & also used to get better marks than me (i used to study only during the PLs - 3 days is all i required to clear the subject). During campus placement i got picked by the 1st company
& my frnd cud not make into any comapny
. Almost daily, I cud see him walking, with his file, to attend a interview & returning back with heavy steps. BUT he never gave up & kept trying... Bcoz he cud not get a job, he thought of some diff route & talked to a prof in IITK & started working for him for 4-5k. After 6 months he applied to a 'OK' US univ for MS & got full waiver + schol & mein abhi bhi yahin pe s/w comapny mein mara raha hun (working on sats
)... just earning enuf to sustain myself in mumbai...
So u never know buddy what life has in store for u. Just keep ur spirits high & keep moving [thts how i keep motivating myself whenever -ve thoughts come my way] For me it's plain n simple, if not SP [this yr] than some international B-School after 2 yrs (probably SAID or Michigan
).
