But in B-school admissions, you have to believe what you write or they will see through it. They process zillions of applications each year! I know this phase can be frustrating but grab a coffee and get over it. It's more like discovering yourself than anything else :)Aparna Gangulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145595106647499958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-91002902022700155122007-12-07T07:30:00.000-08:002007-12-07T07:30:00.000-08:00@~Lord AnshulNope he is senior to me anyways.

And you don't need to be an MBA to have an entrepreneurial spirit. Steve Jobs didn't even graduate! You can start right now. And you can trade you security for your freedom.<BR/>Also, try drawing a business plan. It's a good exercise. By the time you finish your first draft, you'll realize how far away you are from the market place. And how much more well baked you have to make it for a state agengy/private equity/venture capitalist or even your own university to finance it !<BR/><BR/>All the best for your GMAT and admissions.
