undergrad school not good enough
Sorry to hear that dude.. all the best!
How on earth did you reach the conclusion that your undergrad school is not good enough??? From what i know, there are people who get into Harvard after studying in some godforesaken college in Africa. On my recent work trip, i met someone who studied in the Congo and then went to Tuck (which is up there along with Harvard and Wharton) So i dont understand how you are saying Osmania is not good enough. Can you elaborate on this?
Congratulations on Darden btw!! Its one of the better schools and i would definitely go if i were you!!
ATB!
