It's tough

I've been put on the Insead waitlist. This is a hard place to be. Neither yes, nor no.

It has it's advantages and disadvantages. Actually, the only advantage I see is that I can put off paying the intial guarantee deposit. Othan that... it all seems pretty negative. I've got lots of anxiety wrapped around this, in addition to all the usual validations of self ponderings. The worst part is when random friends ask about my MBA status. I sheepishly reply that I'm on the waitlist, further highliting my stasis in purgatory!!

The ladies in the admissions office have been very professional so far. I have appreciated the way in which they have kindly let me know further information whenever I request it. At least it's something.

Honetly, I was kind of hoping that since I was a Round 1 applicant, I would be given a decision in R2. But, R2 has come and gone, still nothing from the venerable institution.

I have recently determined that I can still apply to scholarships while on the waitlist. I intend to devote plenty of time to this, as they may be ways for me to expand my profile a bit.

This is a hard process. I suppose that is the way it should be though. In a few years I'll probably look back and regard this period fondly... maybe...
