Talk with Mgha

Talked with Mgha, a current graudating sudent. Not much to learn form that except kellogg was a great experience, has a large Indian community and IBC, its cold and beautiful in Chicago and KLP is not worth the cost!
And also there is no need to worry about Majors/Concentarations at this stage.
The recruitng season for interns will start as early as Nov. so get prepared is a tip.
I forgot to ask her about - how to best utilize my time now, but will catch up on that in the mail.

Waitlist at Cornell

Finally on the evening of 4th Feb, after a whole day of painful waiting, my Cornell applicaton status was updated. I got on another waitlist, this time a competetive one.

Also, TCS Hats Off happened on 05th evening, along with the Bianca depature party at the office. Hung out with Ipsss on that one :)

Cornell Interview done!!

I think it went well with a fair share of bungles :p
- the school in not in New York city
- my answers were long winded and bit unstructured; but had content

Why MBA was opening question and I gave a shit long answer.
rest seemed fine.
Why did I not apply to Tuck? That was unexpected but handled well enough in the end i suppose.
career goals and mba rationale was commmunicated okay enough.

rest later
