Cruel News

Hank received a mail from NYU, notifying him that his application status has been changed. He nervously checked the website and found the result of "waitlist."

It's so cruel~ He applied for 1st round so got the notifications earlier than me. I'm so afraid of facing those serial shocks. Especially in March, I'll be in Penn lonely.

strong-minded?

One essay question of UT Austion asked us how your friend will describe your defining quality, and Jill told me she thinks I am strong-minded...

Am I?

After that interview with Nancy, an admission officer from Emory, some changes happen. She said that my English is not good enough for MBA and also suggested me some language programs. It's good for me. She reminded me to face the truth, which I avoided to deal with for long time. I know my conversation is not good, but always think maybe I'm not so bad. When somebody else got a good job offer, I always told myself they could get that just because of their fluent English. However, how can I improve my English and make myself to peer with them? I never take actions!

It's time. Today I sent out the application materials for International Business Communication Program of U Penn. I've made my mind to improve my listening and speaking anyway. Keep in mind that my work won't start from the course starts, I need to take actions from now. I have a lot to do! Don't full around! Keep walking... and working~

我亂了....

Tell the truth, my image of those schools is mostly from their rankings. But rankings always change, and also differ from different evaluators. I always deny that it's the standard I use to choose schools; I always claim that I really research those schools by myself. However, when the ranking changes, I'm confused. The school I normally consider good, such as UT Austin, is ranked #36 US MBA program, even worse than BU. I'm totally confused!!! I consider BU a not rigorous school, where the curriculum is not solid enough. But now its ranking rises to #28, I don't know if I can still hold my thought... Or it's already changed.
