Life in the waiting zone
I think when you go through the b-school process, you get to know yourself a little better. You realize the events in your life are somehow connected through a theme, and you have accomplished a lot in little time. You realize how important your friends, family, etc are b/c you have cut them off while trying to finish pages and pages of apps.
In my case, i have realized that i am IMPATIENT!!! Let's take kellogg as a good example. They are releasing rolling decisions - awesome for those who hear early, a case of mental distress for the rest of us. Come visit a day in the life of mba babe:
8am: check kellogg status online
8:02am: check BW forums to see if anyone is hearing today
8:05am: look at admissions 411 to see how many people have heard. sometimes actually count how many and calculate a percentage. (oh yes, i have become that person)
8:10am: check blogs (this makes me happy - so much good news out there recently!)
Rinse, and Repeat.
Ah, what a life! :)

You are telling me. I think that a lot of us our like that too...
Sounds eerily familiar. :)
And u dont work from home anymore :)
I dint become that person at any stage. I started feeling tensed and concerned abt the Chicago result on 19th morning (after i knew some Indians got calls), and i heard from Chicago in the same evening.
I hope u hear from the schools pretty soon and come out of this vicious cycle.
I've sworn off the BW forums for a whole hour. Feeling so proud of my resolve. Wooooooot!
he he he! Dont let the apping process freak you out. And stop checking that wretched BW forums! Trust me, once u stop going there, half your worries will vanish! :)
lol! rinse and repeat, indeed!
i'll agree with hobbes on this. bw forums r by far the worst!
I did the same with you..not sure will they release some today. But thanks for your comment on my blogger.
Happy holiday!
haha - thanks everyone! good to know i'm not the only one out there :) oh well - time to sit back and relax...happy holidays everyone!

Did you receive interview call from either Berkeley or Stanford ...i was curious as i checked on admission411 that both the schools have started sending the calls ...
