Hi all . this is my first article so bare with some mistakes if you find any.
This is about me trying to get into a a dream b-school called IIM yet left the opportunity in hand to try it out again. I started my cat prep in my final year of college for CAT 2012. I attempted many mocks and failed to clear the cut-offs in all of them. Yet somewhere inside my head i still got the feeling i can do it in the D-Day. I took cat and the results came, I was anxious and the screen showed me 91 percentile. Not Bad for a first timer i thought, but still this was not going to get me my dream calls. So i focused on getting a shelter to continue my journey to The Great Manor House. I got a ‘core’ job in the campus placements, though the salary was not so good it was good for a starter. and then came a surprise, calls from IIM S, and all the new iims and an Indore call.
I was resurrected by the calls yet BLACK calls were not at my reach.
After the GD/PI process my results came , waitlisted in IIM S and a convert from six of the seven new IIMs . This is where my problem started i was not sure on what should be my next step. I waited for the Indore results which disappointed me with a reject. Many of my friends suggested me to join New IIMs while my mind was still pondering over the BLACK calls. I believed I had it in me whatever that is required to take me forward to the great b-school.
“I decided to keep looking and never settle for anything less than what I deserved”. I just followed Steve jobs.
I rejected the converts (many people said I am a fool) and decided to rest my hopes on scoring a great goal against CAT by converting one of the BLACKI calls. I took shelter in a core job, which people said is valued good in Interview. So here I am starting from my shelter to continue the journey towards my dream of reaching the The Great Manor House.
“Hope is the only thing that never dies”.
I rely on this eternal thing.
