Hi people,
First of all I must apologize for not writing for the last…um…well…for a long time. What can I say except give you the classic excuse: I was busy.
On a serious note though, among other things, my team and I have released a great product that a lot of people will be using going forward. I was one of the lead developer on that, so I am pretty proud since it’s a milestone of my early career. At least it will be (I hope) a great addition to my credentials when I apply to top schools. I have also traveled a bit overseas.
Anyway, back to business: MBA applications and everything that comes with it. I have now refocused my energy on my MBA dreams. As I have mentioned in another post, I have been reading Richard Montauk’s Howto Get Into the Top MBA Programs (recommended by a Wharton alum), and I have to give this one 6 stars out 5 (I promess I will write a more detailed review of it soon). Since I am planning on starting school in 2010 and applying in round 1 of my targeted schools deadline (Oct/Nov 09), I am now in “GMAT mode” to get this out of the way and have started thinking about what will be the outline of my applications (positionning, selling points, experiences… you name it).
I plan to write on blog posts at least 2-3 times weekly. Since I am preparing for the GMAT, a lot of upcoming posts will be about that. Here is what I will write about in the not so distant future (in no particular order):
1. My notes coming from a Stanford info session
2. My GMAT plan and schedule with the resources I am using
3. “How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs” review
4. What I gathered from that book so far and how I intend to strengthen my applications with it
5. Early reviews of GMAT books I have bought
6. Notes from conversations with some of my target schools alumni
7. Time table of my applications, its various checkpoints and what “experts” recommend
That’s what I have in mind off the top of my head. If you have any suggestion please let me know. The reason I write this book (other than building some discipline) is to interact with like-minded people. People who are going down this road, have done before or plan to do it in the future. So comments, ideas are welcome 
Cheers.
