At what point am I right now.

A few days until Christmas. Not much work to do at the office. They will kill the brand I have been marketing the last 12 months and things will change here. A lot. My boss left 8 weeks ago. There has been a better atmosphere at this company, I can tell you. I wish the MBA would begin earlier than fall 08. I cannot switch jobs right now for what would only be a few months, so I will be stuck here until the MBA begins.

And it will begin, because I got my first admit from IESE last week.

All the hard work put into the two GMAT exams I did this year, the TOEFL and the essays as well as the money spent has been worth it. Thank God. I wouldn't have known what to do if not.

Now I am hoping for successful interviews with the remaining schools: Kellogg, Tuck and Haas.

And in January, I hope to get accepted to a few more schools which would allow me to have a choice. Right now, I am leaning a little towards an American school, as I would like the real campus atmosphere of a US biz school. IESE is great, but it's only the business school - no University attached.

Also, I will have to look into financing this endeavour. This will be a tough one. Taking out a €80k loan? Wow. But I guess with my goal of getting into Consulting post-MBA it should be possible to pay back that loan in a decent amount of time.

more on interviews in the next post...
