Pre-MBA Vacations

Well I have heard the best phase of any MBA is before it begins. I have nearly 8 months before my MBA begins and I started my travelling last week when I was in Hong Kong. Tomorrow I am flying to Mumbai and will be visiting Goa. Next month I will be Chennai and Tirupati to to keep a date with God. Hopefully after that, I will try to travel to various places in S.E Asia before i move to Spain.

MBA Financing Worries

Well the euphoria of getting an admission to a top MBA program has passed and now I am saddled with worries of huge loans, debt and the eventuality of student life bereft of gourmet dinners, expensive holidays and splurging on clothes.

I already lost 5000$ by paying to reserve a seat at ISB after which i got into my dream school IESE. Then recently I paid the 5000EUR deposit for IESE. All this is leading to a hole in my bank account. But i guess this is what I worked hard for the past two years and spent more than 6000$ just to get a admission to a top school(GMAT, application fees, etc).

But at the end of the day all this is an investment that will hopefully lead to good returns in the future and a chance to move to my dream career and role.

Admittttttttted

I was finally admitted to my dream school IESE spain. After more than two years of preparation for my MBA and even writing GMAT twice, I can say happily this phase of my journey has come to an end. Tough as it may have been, i think I have learnt some important lessons and it has prepared me well for a top tier MBA program. I hope to keen this blog updated along my MBA journey and hopefully help some fellow applicants along the way.
