Final Admission Status

Here is the final result of all the MBA entrance exams I have given for the 2008-09 season.

NMAT and FMS are speed based exams and I do horribly on such exams. Hence as such I expected nothing from these.... :) .... so sleep lost.

The big bonus was of course XAT, which I really did not expect to do well in, but eventually got and converted five calls.

If only there was one way of transferring good performance, I would have transferred all marks to CAT and got (and hopefully converted) an IIM Ahmedabad call... or at least got a scholarship in IIM Calcutta (even a teeny-tiny one would make me happy). But one can't edit life, can one ...... :)

Had gone to the welcome meet organized by IIM Calcutta PGP2s yesterday. Met a lot of the people who I am gonna be spending next two years with. ...and frankly overwhelmed by the overall quality of the batch. My resume looks like toilet paper when you see theirs.

Thankfully, all illusions of 'Swayam Mahant' (I am great) have been washed away and I will not struggle too hard once I get there as I will not have much to prove. I see that people like me are already stereotyped 'wildcard' entries and hence it is best to play the underdog and shoot as if u have nothing to lose.

Even if I graduate at the bottom of my class, it will still be IIM C, yaar!

Cheers! To the formidable trials and tribulations ahead............
