This isn’t a pipe dream anymore. I’m moving to start my new life in less than 9 months. I have interviews with Emory, UCLA, Columbia, and Yale. Since this is getting real, I have to remind myself of what I value.
My mum asked me today – ‘what is the average cost of an MBA?’. I told her it was about $200,000, and the typing bubbles stopped briefly. I have been telling my parents that 2 years of business school cost more than 4 years of undergrad, and I don’t think they believed me. Or, they engaged in strong delulu thinking I was joking.
That said, it is also starting to hit me that I will be unemployed for 2 years and use my savings to pay for school. I hate that. I don’t want to use my hard-earned money for school anymore. I cried for that money. I endured annoying team members and a more annoying boss for that money. I want to use it to retire.
So, I will engage in delusion for a few more months and pray for the scholarships I’ve applied for to pull through. Wish me luck, my luvs. I’ve already had 1 interview for Emory, and it went well. I haven’t heard from 3 schools (Stanford, USC, and NYU) yet, and I haven’t even applied to Harvard yet.
Speaking of Harvard, I don’t want to apply there anymore. I felt so suffocated when I visited earlier this year. However, my recommenders have already pulled through for me, so I will finish that journey. I will send them the personal statement I want. Not the robotic personal statement that they want from me. If that doesn’t get me in, then the school wasn’t meant for me anyway.
That’s just some ranting and life updates from me.
