Journey begins...

I took my GMAT in Sep '06 and tried my luck unsuccessfully with US b-schools (2-year program). Now I am ready for another round of b-school apps for top 10 b-schools in Europe (1-year program).

Traditionally the acceptance rate for my demographic (Indian IT male) has been high during the first couple of cycles of the admission process. Moreover, I have a decent GMAT score (720), good ECAs and sufficient work ex. As a result, my hopes are high for getting admitted for this year.

My hopes are also on the down side as I feel I lack the 'wow' factor. I am planning to do some heavy self introspection for about month to evaluate my profile from deep down. I am hoping the result of this process will lead to stunning discoveries that will boost my confidence and encourage me to write some stellar essays, as a result.

In any case, I am happy to have started this long and expensive journey towards success - one more time...
