Admission

So much has happened since I last posted! I completed my Michigan and Duke applications, visited Duke and completed my interview, interviewed over the phone with Michigan, and (suspecting that I couldn't create a quality application) decided to apply to Dartmouth in the second round.

However, yesterday I received a call from Kellogg. They wanted to personally congratulate me on my admission!

Honestly, my BusinessWeek.com journal has been taking the creative energy I otherwise would have applied to this blog. But since this has almost certainly turned into a solipsistic record of my experience, I've left out some of the important parts, like details about the process, school visits, interviews, etc. Frankly, all of that now seems so distant. Admission to one of the best business schools in the world is life-changing. This feels like a big moment, one that I thought I ought to capture. After all the effort and emotional energy that I've poured into this process, I am relieved beyond words. It feels a little like I've been wearing a led vest for months and all of a sudden I can walk, talk, and breath without straining against every moment.

This, of course, is not the conclusion of my journey. Rather, it's just the beginning of a completely new path - one that I look forward to recording as it takes me toward new horizons!
