Stanford Visit
Well it’s been a while since I had anything to write about my b-school dreams, so here you go. Last week I went to San Francisco and took a day trip down to Stanford to attend an info session for the GSB and take a tour of the campus.
I found the info session to be [...]

Quick Update
Officially rejected from Stanford. Not surprised. I am kind of annoyed that the whole process requires you to log back on to the admissions website. When you’re out-of-pocket, it’s a little inconvenient to go through the whole rigmarole.
Anyway, with UVA almost definitely a bust, that leaves Columbia. I’m going to go update my profile on [...]

All but over
Stanford will deliver decisions next week. I’ll be out of town, so maybe that will make easier to deal with getting rejected.

I’m resigned to not getting in this year, [...]

The folks posting on this forum seem oddly good-natured about our diminishing chances at getting interviewed or even waitlisted at Stanford. I don’t know if that has to do with age–many of the posters are in the typical 27-ish age bracket–or if my perspective is just skewed because I don’t handle rejection very well. [...]

School
I’ve got a plan. I haven’t written anything resembling a blog since high school, so what I’m going to do is start simple. Just churn out content. Tell enough of my story, lay out my ideas in no particular order, and eventually stop using the first person so much.
So. Business School. [...]
