Here-ye, Here-ye

I have an announcement to make to all you out there in blogworld: I'm applying to business school. Yup, you heard me; actually I've been going through the application process for a month now. Some of you know this news already, but for the most part it's been a secret.

I am applying really late in the game- third round to the schools, which means my chances aren't good. But I'm certainly not going to get in if I don't apply.

I've pretty much cut off all social contact because on top of the rush to get in the B school apps I'm studying for the GMATs, taking 5 classes, have an internship 2x a week, and training for the Boston Marathon. Something has had to give, and it's been my social life. Thankfully this will all be over soon and I have the most glorious light at the end of the tunnel: my 3 week trip to Thailand! What could be better than Thai food, Thai Friends, and Thai beaches???

"But you're already in grad school, Rachel" you say? "Yes, I am, but I'm not terribly excited about my program and have always thought about business school." I respond.

I am taking a class at the Columbia Business school this semester and it was just that extra little bit of inspiration that I needed. So I'm taking the GMATs on Feb 28th, and will have my applications in to Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Dartmouth shortly thereafter.

Please cross your fingers, toes, and all other appendages for me...
