Hey pagalguy, what happened about your waitlisted name at wharton?
Whay universities are you looking at this time?

soon i will be putting up Fall 2006 deadlines of all the rounds for...

1. Stanford
2. Wharton
3. GSB, Columbia
4. Tuck
5. ISB
6. Yale
7. New York University: Stern
8. Northwestern University: Kellogg
9. MIT: Sloan
10. UC Berkeley: Haas

It is surprising not all universities are replying to my emails. I guess they themselves have not decided on the deadlines and thats the reason they are not replying...

Count me in...

GMAT - yet to take (june 6th is the day)

Acads - Bcom Grad from Blore uni ; PG diplomas in International Business and Investment Banking.

Diploma in German from MMB.

Work experience - currently 2+ yrs...will obviously be 3+ by fall 2006.

Target Instis:mm..havent come up with a list as such, just decided that i wud be applying to instis of 3 categories :

1. Instis where I have a gr8 chance.
2.Instis where i have a decent chance of making if i dont screw up too bad.
3.Streches

So, am just wondering if i should spend time thinking abt the instis now or should i just wait till i am thru with gmat.

Anykinda gyan is welcome..

Hi Nivedita,

My 2 cents..You should have a list of your top 5 preferred school ready before you take the GMAT. Infact preferably you should have a grid of schools depending on the score that day, as it does fluctuate at times.

This list of 5 can change in the longer run however you have the option to send your scores to 5 institutions for no extra charge except the examination fee before you leave the examintaion hall or within a week( I think!) of your exam on a printed form, so you save $140 right away. Even if this is not a huge figure for you to waste too much time researching you would atleast do justice to your GMAT prep.(esp. RC) as you would have read so much that your ability to scan through reams of marketing material would be phenomenal :smile:

Hi Allwin,

Forgive me for spilling the beans ( I guess everyone knows your real name anyways from the sample advt :smile:. I heard you on CNBC and I recall the interviewer spilling the beans there ( this is happening too often nowadays :smile: that you have an admit from SBS-Oxford and a waitlist at Wharton. Your message sounds like you are planning to give the schools in US another shot for fall'06. Is that the reason to pass on the offer from SBS or I am assuming too much here ? I wd understand if u wdnt like to talk about the real reason on the forum but all the best for any decisions you make as I am sure you would make the best ones.From what I saw on the interview I can imagine you setting the highest goals for yourself and making all the right moves to get there :smile:

ok first

why are u giving up/have given up oxford.
Told everyone.. head of this forum going to oxford ..

think u must be following ur statement. "each year stakes/target (dont remember the exact word) keeps getting higher"

Only Wharton and no other college!!!!

Yes, I decided against Oxford due to personal & professional reasons and it was extremely tough a decision.

doesnt SBS has deffered admission. I think they would be more than happy to accept u in their Class of 2007 .

Must have been really hard to forgo such an opportunity and go thru the same process next year.
