Well this is it! One of the biggest weeks of my life!

Posted by Joshua van Aalst in MBA

This is the week that Admissions will announce their decision for my MIT Sloan application.

I haven’t been this nervous since I was 8 years old on Christmas eve wondering if I would receive the present I had so hoped for. All last week I couldn’t sleep as I was so nervous waiting for the big day to arrive (Tuesday onwards this week).

I have studied long and very hard for the GMAT exam. I have spent many many hours profiling myself, delving into my life, past, present and future and of course writing my entrance essays. I have sought out several referees and I have researched MIT thoroughly, and know it is the school for me. I have also prepared for and been interviewed by the school.

I feel so close to achieving this life long goal and starting a journey that I believe will enrich my life in so many ways. If I were to write the reasons down I would have to write a 10,000 word thesis to simply cover them all!

Yet although I feel so close I still feel so far away.

All I can do now is wait patiently…. and pray…. and hope.
