AIWTSAC MBA is not for me. Itās for extroverts who will sell that pen. I was so sure of this assumption that I never bothered to rethink. And coming from a place where MBA is not hot like an MS in US, never needed to think about it. Slacker all my life, passed from a Private engineering college in 2017 without gaining any real skill. Joined an IT service based company with MS in US plans in the back of my head. Thrown in a support role, disillusioned, started thinking of coming out of this. As I was not really sure of tying myself to IT, pushed back MS plans and came up with business plans. We are now in early 2019 and I, without giving much thought jumped ahead and started a small business. Unsurprisingly, it didnāt go anywhere and by mid 2019 I knew I needed a backup plan. I told myself I canāt go back to being a software engineer coz I know no shit, I started a business so Iām now suited for an MBA, coz why not? Enrolled myself for CAT weekend xpress batch and scraped through with a 95%ile(98.6/88/84) in CAT 2019. Meanwhile, someone like me, a newbie, wants to buy my business. Iāll make a loss on it but hey, thatās far better than closing it just like that. I was very happy with it being sold and the journey made me grow out of my comfort zone so glad about that. No regrets. Now itās march and I'm already done with my interviews, was of the thought that Iāll convert something in top 30 and join it. After the virus and all, results started pouring in and very surprisingly(only for me), I got nothing. Just unreal waitlist numbers from some baby IIMs. So, itās been 3 years that I passed out of college, left the conventional path laid down by cousins, seniors over the years, the same path which my friends followed and are quite okay tbh. And got no job now. Didnāt feel nice but never questioned my choices. My parents started forcing me to go for a tier-4/5/6 MBA but too late, ambition started brewing and I thought let me give CAT again and go for the kill, top 10. Meanwhile, IIM sirmaur called but mind is now bent on CAT 2021. Now starts the worst phase of my preparation where I donāt prepare anything but just think of preparing. Oh, forgot to tell you, an acquaintance came up with an āEdTechā idea and again, I jumped right into it. Not a registered company or anything, just a thought and enjoyed thinking about it. Delays in putting ideas to motion is a common thing now, not really my fault when it came to the startup idea but totally my mistake when it came to prep. Nothing became of the idea and itās September already. My mock scores never touched 90%ile. Only bright spot is my VARC which Iām decent at without much efforts. The other two sections you ask? Nothing zero zip nada. My constant struggle with putting my ass at the study table, trying to open the laptop and my head, nothing comes out of it and I justā¦get up and sit in front of TV. Hating myself is a new thing and it sucked. Itās like I canāt do anything. Absolutely. I know my life is royally F-ed and everything is dependent on this exam but meh. Disappointed parents and all you get it. Only thing I was consistent with is mocks, wrote some 30 mocks but didnāt really analyse well. November, I never got to see 90%ile and as I get closer to the exam, the worst are the scores Iām seeing. 59.5%ile is particularly not nice to look at 10 days before your exam. At this point I accepted that I have serious problems to sort out and beating my head wonāt help. I told myself I'm not going to learn or improve anything now if I couldn't all these months. So, I started relaxing now watching movies and TV series, brushing books a couple of hours everyday. The ship Iām aboard is sinking but all I cared was if Iām happy and I was. Simultaneously dreaming that Iāll beat my best sectional scores from mocks and that will put me at 97%ile. Yep with no 90 in my mocks, I still donāt want anything less than an IIM talk about the audacity. 27th nov was particularly memorable. At 6pm, I realised Iām one hour past the MDI deadline. Didnāt hurt much just part of the pattern now. So went to the exam centre with confidence brimming like anything. This is the fake hype iāve been giving myself from days for lack of any better option. Exam starts and my best section VARC is going awry asap. My brain is talking to me about how important this section is, this exam is, while Iām trying to figure out the F-ing passage. Tried to calm myself but couldnāt attempt what I aimed for. Collected myself and did DILR well for my standards. Quant was meh not good even for my standards. Came out confused about how it went. Felt only an extremely high accuracy in varc can save me. And thats what I got when the answer key is released. +3,+3,+3. Only a couple of -1s in varc, My heart calmed down after VARC score. DILR better than expected with my guesstimates too working out well for me. Probably the best Iāve pulled in two years of mocks. QA didnāt give me such luxury and itās pretty bad. Raw score of 100. Elated. I knew this is more than what I deserved. Rest of the exams didnāt go well nothing to talk about. 98.91%ile(99/99/89) My profile - 9/8/7 Interview prep - Same old story went with zero prep. Not proud. Calls, interviews and results IIMS - Bad interview - Reject IITB - Average interview - Waitlisted in high 200s so a reject CAP - Went well and felt I would convert all of them - Glad to be correct this time I was lucky no one grilled me on my gap. So here Iām, joining a new IIM in few weeks. My mind oscillating wildly between not preparing well enough for old IIMs with plenty of time in my hand to simply being happy for going where Iām going. It also questions me if Iām even worthy of this one. Is my work ethic going to be like this forever? Or will this course push me to my limits. For once, I would love to see how it feels to achieve something after I give my everything. Surely, this convert isnāt such thing. Trying to not hate myself and hoping to do best with what I have. And ya happy parents after a decade or so feels good.
