Out with the old and in with the new
I decided to be like the fashion magazines and make a list of the old (out) and the new (in) b-school related trends for Rungee as we turn to 2007.
Old - Holing myself up in a Starbucks on weekends to do applications
New - Going out to celebrate acceptances and the return to student life
Old - Stressing about whether I will get into b-school
New - Stressing about where to matriculate
Old - Working
New - Traveling (not until summer, but I am already looking forward to it and trying to decide where to go!)
Old - Steady income
New - Debt
Old - Blaming the combination of applications and work for my sloth
New - Exercising regularly (yeah right!)
I had one of the most relaxing New Years ever, and it was great. We went with a Spanish theme (Sangria and tapas), and we stayed home with friends rather than going out. The result - no hangover! Due to interviews, holidays, and vacations, I haven't been at work for a full week in the past 2 months. Seriously. Thank goodness my team likes me. ;) And this trend will continue b/c I am leaving to go skiing in New Hampshire next week. Too bad the weather has been so warm this year. I knew I should've decided to go to Colorado instead! We rented a house with 8 other friends, so it should be a good time, snow or not.
Congrats to all those who submitted their R2 applications. Best of luck in the process!

Love the attitude! It is something that I have been trying to do as well. Granted I don't have admits like you do.
Congrats on all your admits and good luck ind deciding :)
This is a funny post. Best of luck deciding on a b-school. =)
Thanks for your comment and Congrats on you admittance! It definitely makes me wish I had applied Round 1 ... hopefully the news goes as well for me!
exercising and more socialising are definitely 2 of my resolutions as well :)
i want to get ready for a triathlon by april.
All the best on deciding. I cant just wait to think of the old and the new now .. Publish your school choosing process, it would be nice to hear.
@Broadway - Soon enough, you will! (K doesn't know what they're missing).
@ipoel and asiangal - Thanks!
@agirlsmba - I am very happy I decided on R1 as I'm the most impatient person I know. :) Best of luck to you in R2!
@r2_mba - wow... a triathalon?! I'm impressed... I just want to get back to running 3 or 4 miles!
@inblue - I'll def. post about my decision-making process... I have to talk to someone else b/c my husband is tired of talking about it w/ me!!!
Hey Rungee, just saw your blog.
First congrats on getting in such top-tier schools!
A few questions:
Do you by any chance make your essays public? Now that I read so much about them, I'd like to read them. (I am not even sure if you can do so... pls forgive my ignorance).
How did you manage to do so well in your GMAT and in preparing stellar applications, while working full time? And from what I get you have a very demanding job.
