just as i thought...

it looks like this will be a tough week. with one ding down and another one expected tomorrow, my ego is taking a hit. it's funny how people react when i tell them the news - invariably they make me feel a better by expressing shock and disbelief and throwing in some kind words to soothe my battered self-confidence. they remind me that i'm a good person...maybe just not a very good bschool applicant. :)

Finally, a real post!

my latest habit has been trolling the businessweek bschool forums and other applicant blogs. it's nice to read about other people's experiences - it makes me feel less alone.

a few weeks ago i was pretty down in the dumps about not getting invited to interview with hbs or stanford. tonight, on the eve of their decisions (dings in all probability), i can't help but think back to all the people who helped me to the end of this very long road. my husband, my readers, my recommenders, friends who are currently at school...the list goes on and on. if i have learned anything from this experience, it is that i'm incredibly blessed to be surrounded by people who will chip in and do everything they can and more to help me achieve my goals. so to them: thank you.

Finished with round 2.

Turned in my last application two days ago! Let the waiting begin...
