Awww! I'm still in New York. I'd love to participate though. Who knows, I may still fly out of here on Monday morning, so, fingers crossed.

Just checked out Columbia Business School today. The campus is nice but the dude working in the admissions office wasn't.

I wanna share these experiences with people!!

I wish I could join you all on Tuesday during Lunch hour but I have to go to Markham for work.

Anyway, I would like to get together on a weekend.

Thanks!

I'm back in Toronto so I will meet you guys whenever. In fact, I'm back in my old haunt around U of T and studying my boring butt off.

I really want to meet up with others because I need a fire lit under me. Studying on my own does not elicit enough motivation so I need others to crack the whip.

Yeehaw.

P.S. For those who are interested: NYU Stern's campus isn't really very campus-y. No sprawling greens or grand looking buildings. However, it's in a fabulous part of Manhattan - Greenwich Village. Columbia's campus is large and well-manicured but the business school is really just contained in one (sometimes two) buildings and, according to the dude in the admissions office, the b-school students remain in that bubble.

I live in East York and planning to write GMAT in coming weeks. I need study budy for coming two weeks on a daily basis, since this is all I can afford to prepare any further for GMAT.

Good luck to you all !

I'm going to be hitting the books around U of T's St. George campus this Saturday. Coffee, sunshine, quiet corner in the library... What bliss!

Let's get our study hats on and party (quietly).

Stuart, not sure of your availability but lunch is to be had at some point in the day...

Cheers,

Sandra

Can someone bring a digital camera to this event? I'd love to capture some pics from these meet ups.

Also, Stuart needs a profile pic! :)

Apart from Stuart, is anyone else available on Sunday (tomorrow)?

Come on people! Where is your motivation! It's kind of like, y'all don't deserve to get into b-school...

Did I just go there? Yes, I did.
