It's official

"June 20, 2008

Dear Ms. Z:

Congratulations! You have been admitted to the University of Washington Evening MBA Program at the Michael G. Foster School of Business for Autumn 2008. We invite you to join our community of faculty, staff, students and alumni, and become a part of one of the most prestigious academic programs in the Northwest. At the University of Washington , a highly selective admissions process and a smaller program size permit us to select students who excel in many dimensions. This insures that you are among a small, talented group of peers. Our Admissions Committee believes you will make a significant contribution to the entering class. "

Yeah...I'm counting down my free days before I commit myself to 3 years of papers, assignments, exams, and group projects (and also lack of sleep probably :-p ). It was a nerve breaking experience to get here. All the essays and paperworks that had to be submitted. Once that passed, I got the honor to be invited to the evaluation day (roughly 4 hours of e-day). You got the chance to meet other candidates and had to present yourself (3 min presentation) in front of 3 judges and a class of 15 people. After the presentation, we had to discuss a topic given by the judges. I was nervous during the presentation and discussion. Up to this point in my life, I'm still not used to give my opinions freely during group discussion (I'm blaming it on Indo's education system). But after that, the last part of the e-day was actually fun. The class was split into 2 groups and we had to discuss how to survive in the desert. Overall it's was quite fun and challenging.

I'm looking forward to go back to school (right now... but probably going to change my mind later when I'm already in the middle of things) but it's definitely going to be a challenge with both work and school. Have to enjoy summer before school starts.
