Melbourne Ahoy !

Like I said in my previous blog, I've made it to the very prestigious Melbourne Business School. It's rated #75 globally by Financial Times and #1 in Australia. Here's a timeline of my journey right from the time I gave my GMAT to the day I received an offer.
April-2008 - I gave my GMAT (score - 680) and sent in my application for the September intake to Melbourne Business School.
May-2008 - I was rejected for the September intake but was asked whether I'd like to be considered for the January intake, which I affirmed.
May through July 2008 - I just kept waiting and writing to them about the final status of my application. I must say I was really irritiated it took so long given they had already taken an initial look at my application in April. Anyways, time crawled in this period.
31-July-2008 - It's a day I will never forget. The day i was waiting for since a long long time. I received a letter of offer from MBS and i knew in that moment, my life had changed.

To Melbourne then...
