Lets make some time from grueling / torturing gmat sessions and share a light moment or two. Please feel free to post mba/gmat/management humor here.


How To Handle A Rejection Letter

[Date Today]

Dear [Interviewer's Name]:
Thank you for your letter of April 1st. After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission in your school. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite your school's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate admission with your school immediately following graduation. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
:D :D :P

I found this one online:

You know you are an MBA when....

You ask the waiter what the restaurant's core competencies are.
You decide to re-org your family into a 'team- based organization.'
You refer to dating as test marketing.
You can spell 'paradigm.'

Let's see if we can add to this...

...when you know that the next word after paradigm would most likely be "shift"
...you see a stop sign and immediately try to figure out how many degrees it has... (n-2)*180 = 6*180 = 1080
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I liked very much the one about "your family"!

Lets create something like "40 properties of a MBA Applicant".
