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.

Mr. Goizueta once said, "Material things can be lost, stolen or even confiscated- however, no one can ever take away from you what you have stored inside."

Rejection Handling

Yesterday, Hank got his first rejection letter from UCLA.
............

It comes so early~~ I think that's due to his ealier submission online, and school considered him a first-round appicant. But it's starting.... good news or bad news..... we should learn to face and handle it.

interview confirmation from EMORY

Yes, they decide to give me this chance... even my TOEFL is so awful... My interview is scheduled on 1/27, next Thursday... I kind of worry about my English conversation. 7 days left, I should start planning and maximizing these 7 days to improve it. 衝阿～

~~ Berkeley ~~

Yesterday Berkeley also hold a information session for us prospectives. I finally met Sandy in person. The atmosphere and life style there are really what I wanna have. It is really the place I wanna go. However, I submitted my application to Berkeley at the very first.... Essays are all awful.... Now wish god could bless me on it.

How can I abandon myself at this moment?

This week is a deadline-week. UCLA, Stanford, Kellogg, and Chicago are all due within this week. I once thought I would be very busy at essays for these schools. However, Chicago requires each section of TOEFL to be at least 25; Kellogg only admits students with TOEFL score higher than 260; Stanford is still a school in the dream( cuz they require 3 recommendations.)

I almost gave up. But how can I do so? I persevered in challenges of GMAT and TOEFL. Why can't I try again? Yes. I should try! Mom remind me of that.

If I don't try now, I'll forbid my own chance.

Keep going. Don't hesitate at taking actions!
