The First Milestone!

The First Milestone
If I retrospect then there are many things, which led my way to pursue a Fulltime MBA Course at Cranfield SoM, but I will proceed from the date I actualized the first mile stone! It was approximately a year back in the month of July 2006 that I scheduled my GMAT examination for September 2006. Intentionally, I scheduled the exam six week hence to avoid the fluctuating mood and motivation required.
I started my preparation started with high spirits. However, within a couple of days I realized that I need to work a lot in the Verbal section.

The Power of Orkut
Another moment for my friends to come for a rescue! Also, it was the moment when I discovered the power of Orkut and plethora of resources available on this site. People with the same ambitions to score good in their exam do interact frequently, sincerely and aggressively. During which I did meet few people and still cherish those discussions.

Daily Timetable
Hmmm… this comes out to be a obvious question to most of us - will we get time to study during the job. But don’t they think - they are not the ONLY one thinking about this. Even people who have been successful have made it thru the final round and with flying colors. In the end… What I did and said to myself - Where there is a will, there is way! Got up early, did quant problems while I was still in sleep and when back form office take a bath, have dinner and back to the books. Life, a bit different from sleeping or chatting after dinner and that too for a short time - just 6 weeks!

NOT AS DIFFICULT AS IT SEEMS!

IF NOT NOW - THEN WHEN?

Confession
I do agree that I did not score good on the D-day. With all that comfort at home and facilities available, still feel that should have done better! Never the less… I was confident that I did secure the minimum, if not the maximum, to apply for the universities. Everyone thinks so and I am not
