Emotion Swing

Ye it happens. But this time it’s happening with higher frequency.

Incident 1: Oct 18, 2008.
All geared up for my Gmat exam. I thought I was well prepared for the exams. I was a little skeptical about my practice on the ‘Reading Comprehension’ of the verbal section. But for rest I thought I was solid. A score above 700 was well in the cards. Oct 19, 1 pm. Bang! The score was a mere 630 and all my high verves disappeared. I felt disappointed, low and very insecure. I was almost convinced for a retake when a chat with my friend at Viginia Tech (the primary college I have targeted) convinced me that it was a good score to rock in VT. Stable Again.

Incident 2:
I applied to VT and Katz MBA program. As a safe college I applied to Flores MBA (LSU). The interview was’Okay’ with all the colleges.
Result Time.
LSU result was the first to arrive. Damn! I got on the wait list. Time to go down again. It was particularly hard to take because this was supposed to be my safe college, my safest link that would never let me down. Well I can expect nothing from the rest.
A week later I got admission to VT. I was on a high for obvious reasons.

Well there’s definitely more to life.
