… the blog of an MBA student in the class of December 2009. Here, I tell all about the on-going “best year of my life”. This year, I’ll attend some bschool classes, wash down my offal with champagne, spend weekends jet-setting around Europe, punt homework in favor of opera in Paris or ballet in London, and completely burn out while interviewing in hope of achieving the triumverate role-location-sector career change.
If you’re looking to this blog for an earnest assessment of business school, you should browse the links to my classmates’ blogs. If you’re looking to be entertained, get a glimpse of one girl’s business school journey, or if you’re easily amused by rants of people you don’t know, then welcome!
NB: If you already know who I am, please don’t post any revealing details on this blog. (a) You want to be on my good side. Trust me. (b) I’d like to keep the snarky comments anonymous.
If you’d like to get in touch, I’m alilak [@] gmail [punto] com

Hey…wonderfully funny blog…much more interesting than the “so this is what INSEAD is like” stuff…
But i have a serious question, how soon does INSEAD give out the interview calls after the round deadline?
I have applied for the batch starting sept 2010 and the deadline was sept 30. How soon can i expect theme to either give me good news and make my day…or ruin my best laid plans for ever!!(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!)
Hi Anand, thanks.
i think it’s like a month after the deadline. honestly, i can’t remember, but they had mentioned when they would contact for interviews in the application materials.
good luck!
Hello,
I was wondering if you had any advice on MBA essays. I chatted with you awhile back about negotiation tips.
Thanks!
