I had no intentions of doing an MBA this year. I wrote CAT just to keep in touch with the pattern and to see where I lagged as I was targeting it next year. That was also a reason why I did not write any other exam.
I attempted CAT on Nov 15th, 2010. Fortunately, the day wasn’t bad for me. I fared well and was expecting a few calls if at all I clear cut-offs for verbal section. The result day arrived and I got calls from IIM-B, IIM-I, IIM-K.
I thought this opportunity shouldn’t be wasted and decided to leave no stones unturned for converting the calls. As I was not expecting an admission this year, there was lesser pressure from within and it always is a good thing.
Next one and a half months passed filling interview forms, SOPs, reading newspaper and gathering as much relevant information that I could. I hated the pseudo state of hibernation. It was hard to fight the mental battle of when-will-this-end feeling. One thing I realized strongly is that converting a call is much-much-much tougher job than clearing CAT and getting calls.
I had my interviews during the initial phase and so there was a long wait for the final results. But all is well that ends well. Now that the IIMB final calls are out, I am all set to realize my dream. The feeling is yet to sink in. The support from my family and friends is not to be forgotten. I owe it to them.
PS: I shall post my interview experience once I recall it.
