It's time to submit Chicago GSB.

I can't really explain how the last 48 hours have been, but to sum it up in a word, stressful. I was scared that my PPT wouldn't turn out right, that my reader friends wouldn't get back in time, and only today, at 2.30pm, my reader turned in his remarks that tore up my Essay 1 - it called for a re-write!

So there I was, in the office, looking stressed and hunched over the computer, editing Essay 1. Thankfully, most of the office work was done, and that I have an trainee whom I can pass work off to.

Apply Online is loading now. Need to upload my essays and such. I've read through my application 6 times.

The stats.

Essay 1: 81 versions
Essay 2: 32 versions
PPT: 27 versions

54.9 mb of text and then some pictures.

I'm uploading the PPT now, approximately 7.8 mb large. My life in 4 slides.

I would like to thank the following people,

jelt, bsd_lover, tai kor Jimmy, my sister, kuhu, aviroop, tomvu

Who have worked with me on this application. I guess it all boils down to pressing the submit button.

I've decided to stop blogging for the time being. I guess, I've been blogging about applying for an MBA for the past 2 years, it's been a good journey - I've learnt a lot and made good friends. I had a good time, but I think I would like to move on. I'm thinking about applying to NUS and INSEAD but that's not confirmed. If I get accepted into Chicago GSB, I'll definitely attend and probably start a Chicago GSB student blog, if not, who knows?

I would like to thank you for reading my blog today, and maybe over the past couple of months. I wish I had more meaningful posts, stuff that really discussed the application process and all that, but I think at the end of the day, this blog was just to share about my feelings more than anything else.

So, if you would like to contact me (especially if you're a Malaysian thinking about learning more about doing an MBA or the GMAT), drop me an email - hopeful.wannabe (at) gmail.com

Till then, all the best to all of you.... it's been fun.
