I knew that retaking GMAT would be time consuming, if I were to achieve my target score of 750+ to improve on my 700 score. But oh boy, how I've totally underestimated the time that I have to do justice to both my essays and GMAT!
So how does it look like now? GMAT is in less than a month and I also have slightly more than 35 days to finish off my essays - 5 essays to be exact, 2 for HBS and 3 for Stanford.
Technically, it's no biggie if I miss the Round 1 application deadline but then my work will be compounded for Round 2, which I plan to submit my MIT Sloan and Kellogg's application and those schools have a totally different set of essays to write...
I have my HBS essays outline ready, which helps calm my nerves a bit but the hardest part to nail is the narration of the stories...
And guess how I'm spending my time this afternoon? BY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES!
