Third Week.

We are into the MBA Core deeply. It can take the soul from you away. It excites you to do so many things and gives you less time than ever to do those things. It's awesome.

Good news first. I have been selected for Students Admissions Council (SAC). Its not a great feat. We have 120 people for 60 positions. I felt really cool for this. I am excited to meet the new prospective students. It is going to start in a week or two. All those excited souls visiting campus to get a taste of the school. Every SAC member will do things like taking the prospective student to a class or for a building tour or information session. Drop me an email and we can try to meet even if you are not assigned to me for the day of visit.

I have been accepted into the consulting academy and so it begins.

I am really weighing my options as I go through the courses. Finance has been amazing. I am really impressed with the topics and their application. It is still on the top of my major list. The professor is amazing.

Accounting is getting into difficult areas and I am doing my home work to keep up with the pace. The good thing is Finance and Accounting involve numbers and I really love to deal with numbers.

Operations class was really good. We did a Case in which we can really see the effect of inventory and lead time. I am excited as I can bring in some perspectives from my previous experience and can relate them to the case. I read "The Goal" and submitted the summary. I was awake till 2 AM on that day to read 200 pages.

We have attended around four presentations by companies for summer internship. Man, you are into the classes only for 3 weeks and here you are trying to do something for internship. Thats what B-school is. Balance in a b-school is really tough. You got to read 8 subjects and so many social events and it takes good prioritization skills to swim through all these things.

I am happy for one thing. I am getting what I want - The Excitement of a world class program where you can meet the best people. Did I tell you that I am sitting in the first bench? :-) .

We have submitted one assignment for critical thinking and attended one Finance quiz today. The quiz is really good. Though it's not really tough, it tested the concepts that we learnt till today. We came to know that as we get into the course, it really gets tough.

Also, I have joined the Consulting club. It is different from Consulting Academy. Academies help you to get in touch with recruiters through networking events. Club helps you to be familiar with case interviews and other education stuff. Just an hour before I wrote this, my laptop almost crashed.

I tried some junk stuff on vista themes and it made my system unstable. Fortunately, I am able to recover the system after a little struggle.
