The much awaited vacation begins now!
Whew! 3.5 months of sheer toil culminated this morning when I submitted my Stanford application. Stanford's essays were the most beautiful ones in pdf form :-) ! I have submitted all my applications except Columbia. Yippie....
I have some more nice updates too...
I feel both good and bad right now. Good - becauseI made a plan, stuck to it and finished everything on time, in spite of work pressure and illness and other obstacles. Bad - because the gruelling wait starts now. I have no clue what my chances are at these schools. I am not expecting to get in, I'm not expecting to be dinged right away, I'm not expecting an interview invite. My mind is just blank and I prefer it that way. Otherwise I will obsess endlessly and lose a lot of sleep over something I have no control over anymore :-)
The vacation starts now! I'm going home tomorrow night and will be only "occasionally connected" till the 25th of October. After I come back I will be busy for say 10 more days with my Columbia app and Kellogg interview prep. After that, I don't know what I will do with all the time. Of course, I'm on a hiatus from some activities, which I will promptly begin again. I will still have time to spare(I think)! It will be really nice to come back home early some day and laze around and do whatever I please :D.
This calls for some celebratory posts (which I will write in the near future)!
I have some more nice updates too...
- My Kellogg application says "Complete" and they are waiting for me to complete my interview. I got my Kellogg interview invite and I've also spoken to my interviewer. We've fixed a tentative date for the interview.
- My Chicago application is in "Complete" status.
- My Harvard and Stanford apps say "Submitted". I don't think HBS updates it at all, I'm not sure about Stanford.
- My Wharton app says "Received" and I expect it to turn to "Complete- Round 1" soon. So much for submitting early!

Enjoy your well-deserved break!
you did some great work with your apps, and you need and deserve the vacation. enjoyy it before the interview invites start coming in.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
As an appilcant applying to many of the same schools, let me say that you should feel very proud about all the progress you made. Try not to stress while waiting. I always tell myself, "there's nothing I can do now, so why stress, it doesn't help in any way." Best of luck on Columbia!
Great ..it must be a great feeling I am sure.. I am waiting to be in ur shoes soon :)
Kellogg invite seems pretty quick ! Good luck
Congratulations~ You deserve the vacation now since you stuck to your plan so well!
Congrats! That was one awesome feat!
BTW, could you tell me one thing about stanford questions: the guidelines say the recommended length for Stanford essay A,B is 2-3 pages. Is it fine to exceed this? Because elsewhere I read this:
If your essays total more than 11 pages, however, you need to upload the remaining pages into the Additional Information section of the Online Application.
Thanks for answering my question! Atlast, I decided to follow their rules :-)
