Planning a US Trip & NYU interview

Got through my visa interview yesterday. It went very well and I got my visa in just 5 min. I waited for two hours before the interview tho... Now I'm planning a trip to US from Feb 23 to Mar 11, which is after the Chinese New Year. I plan to visit Bay area, New York and maybe Chicago.

What's even better is I received NYU's interview invite today. Will try to schedule an on-campus interview and sit in a class. I'll also visit Stanford and Columbia, will wait and see if they'll give me interview invite before my trip. This is exciting, finally get the chance to see these great schools and sit in MBA classes. Plus, I get to meet my boyfriend and a lot of other friends. Really looking forward to it~

Now on the waiting bench...

I'm finally done with all the apps! But it doesn't feel so relaxed as I expected... Seeing all the people reporting admissions/interview on businessweek/chasedream just make me anxious... On the other hand, things at workplace is pretty hectic...

I'm thinking about the next step, such as whether I should quit my job to take a break in Sydney? It might be risky to quit before I hear anything from the schools, but I really think I need to change a job... I'm also planning a trip to US in end of Feb or early Mar, to visit my bf mainly. I also hope to visit some schools and sit in some classes. Would be even better if I can get an interview or two. But first, I need to deal with the visa interview...

Stanford Submitted!

Finally! Stanford application is the one I look upon to a lot. It is my dream school, meaning I would trade anything for an admission at Stanford. Thanks to David, Malana who helped a lot on the essays at the very moment when I was lost. Thanks to my honey, you're my inspiration^_^ I am satisfied with the apps now, and I think it does reflect who I am from all perspectives. Next I can just wait and see whether the adcoms agrees with my point or not.

Only MIT to go now! I'm a little tired of writing about myself, so soon I'll see an end to it. Yeah!

The Approaching Deadline, The Broken Internet

First of all, Happy New Year everybody! Wish all of us a lucky 2007, and some admission letters^_^

Last week, because of an earthquake in Taiwan, the optic cables connecting Asia Pacific to US were broken. Therefore a lot of applicants in AP region had problems accessing the school websites and the online application systems. This morning, MIT has sent out an email reminder of a postponed deadline of Jan 26 for applicants in AP. That is a truly great news! MIT is the first to postpone their deadline for the network problem. Hopefully other schools would consider this too. On the other hand, according to the news this morning, network is back 80%, and it is proved by that I can open UCLA's online application and Stanford's website now, just very slowly. Considering Jan 3 is UCLA's deadline, (and no sign of postponing), Anderson's applicant should be grateful to the people trying to rescue those cables on the sea now.
