This weekend will go on my records as one of the happiest – I cleared GMAT with 91 percentile(690)! As you could have seen from my lack of presence in this blog, I was busy with studies for the past three months. The efforts paid off and hard to believe my dream has come true. There is still more to do until I secure my admissions but then this one is a major hurdle and I am extremely gratified to have crossed it with good score.
This success has even more significance to me personally, because I had given this test exactly one year ago and failed miserably! I realized what it means to take an exam when you have lost touch with your ‘academic” instincts in so many years after school. I had written this note in April of 2004, but decided not to post it then for some reason.
I had a pathetic day at the test center. I couldnt stand the pressue of the situation and gave up. I could justify my failure with several reasons, but in the end nothing matters. I did really bad and gave up on it. May be I had way too high expectations of myself, only to fall. But, I aint giving it up and will challenge it again. – 04/10/2004
Today, I take extreme pride in having tried again and won over it. Thanks to Harini, without her I would have given up on this ambition altogether. Thanks to everyone else who was supporting, the most significant of them is Lord Ganesha who must have given that 20% luck factor for those answers I gave in a hunch!
Will be back with more spirit.
