About This Blog (and myself)

January 11, 2009

Hello. I am attending the full-time MBA program that starts in May 2009 at the Queen's School of Business in Canada. During my application process, I have found several MBA blogs (listed on the right) that proved to be extremely helpful, and I thought I would start one as well to share my own thoughts and experience.

I especially highly recommend my favourite blog, as the author provides a very detailed account of his journey. Mine will be somewhat similar but will probably not repeat what has already been documented there (overlap of what we do in class, for example). I do realize that my application experience is probably not a typical one, but nonetheless I hope it still provides some insight and is of some help to other applicants.

I'm also going to backdate the entries so that the timeline will be more obvious. Some of the entries, in particular those concerning the GMAT, I have posted before on a separate forum.

A bit about myself:

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from a few years back and have mainly worked as a technical consultant since graduation. I would like to use the MBA to switch from technical to management consulting. My undergraduate grades are likely amongst the worst that Queen's will ever accept, but I also have a 99th percentile GMAT score.

  1. Hi! I'm excited to have stumbled across your blog. It looks as though we're going to be classmates at QSB come May 11th. If you post an email address where you can be reached, I'd happily make a less cryptic introduction.
