So yesterday I had this feedback session with Tuck. As usual careless me, just woke up right in time to make a call rather then devise the questions. Wrote a few questions, generic ones. No pre call preparations, like what to anticipate etc.
She surprised me by asking what I think of my application? OKay somehow I told something though in calm fashion. To which she said fine. Then came the real blow.
We think your GMAT is below average (Is 710 so bad? I know its not good but still....)
Then your uniqueness essay is just not good while the Leadership is good.
You need to do community service and better do it.
Thats it. rest all comments were generic you should improve in overall write new story etc.
Lets see, its nice that I took the feedback will help me decide if I really want to spend my USD5ooo this year.
Good Luck & Cheers !!!

Shawshank Redemption
The Movie simply fascinates me every time I watch it and the more I watch it the more I like it. Simply the friendship stuff its beautiful. The dialogues mind blowing consider this:
Andy to Red: "The funny thing is the Outside I was an honest man straight as an arrow and I have to come to prison to be a crook".
Also the good old hope dialogue. Another one
New boy Tommy: Why are you in here?
Andy: Lawyer fucked me. Everybody is innocent in here, don't you know that.
Its amazing and beautiful.
Cheers
Tyson.
PS: I am sure its going to happen and right people know that.

It happens again
I am not sure why but yes it does, I have reasons to believe otherwise? May be these reasons have void assumptions lets see.
I wrote to Tuck for the feedback, yesterday and they answered me today with a session tomorrow.
This was pretty quick as I didn't expected them to reply so soon. Why? They would be busy with the admissions process so might take a sometime atleast two or more days. Nothing wrong. And on similar lines they offered the session for tomorrow which again to my reasoning shouldn't have been scheduled at least in this week. As usual what I "positively" think will not happen, it happens. It usually holds good most of the times. I cannot count. I will not say vice versa is true.
I am the chosen one. Thats what I can say.
Probably one item is knocked off the list, please note the work probably. Others have to do their job and then...... pc you fool we need to talk its been a long time.
Still I have a few more important jobs to be done. I have barely started doing something on my app but it needs a more sincere effort. I need time for this, I don't how am I going to do this. 4 more days to read and read and only read and take notes. I have to do it this year and I have a belief that I will succeed as this is my second attempt.
Cheers

China Shanghai May 5th - 8th
I dont know this place has something which makes me take up a stick, may be just to balance the composition of the air inside and outside. well I took one. not my fault as this guy from Singapore always sat next to me, in training & at dinner with the packet on table, so finally I gave in. Chinese rice wine is amazing with 51+% alcohol it burns you out. I took one shot of this and my day was over. Japanese & Chinki malt drink are also good. :P. of the four days I had 2 Indian dinners and 2 Chinese dinners (one bland and one very spicy)
Met some very interesting people. One of the directors a Chicago graduate very interesting person. I believe I did my best to put across my point. I was in this some IDEX specific training which though good but lacks the punch. Anyways I got what I was looking for and may be more but need approvals etc for my dream to come true...... Learning: Actually it is very easy to point out the mistake but very difficult to correct one-self or even identify some.
Foot massage is as always good, these chinks do it very differently as compared to Thai's :P.
Importance of communication is coming across to me (The VP)
"I can stand the lesbians but Gays kill me, they scare me." The director at the end of dinner. :D
Sharmaji ko aaj kal aate daal ka bhaav pata lag raha hai ;)
I am going home! I am going home!!!!
Cheers

PS: I havent done what I should have done. Somebody with stick can only make me do this.
