MBA Impossible is indeed impossible (for now @ least)

Ding Ding... no, that is not any welcome doorbell ring from my MBA schools :(

Yes, once more, another rejection. At least UCLA is on time to release their decision. Early in the morning, I got an official rejection email that looks utterly familiar. Just like the other two that had been moved to my Trash folder as soon as I read them.

I am not so discouraged honestly. I knew it was an impossible attempt for me. Now, I am ever so ready to work and gain my real-world experiences. I am quite excited actually! Maybe it's because I read an article the other day that said something like..."recruiters don't view all MBAs the same", and that strike me. If I were actually accepted to any of the program, after kissing goodbye $100K, I wouldn't probably even find a decent job.

Anyways, so much for the loser talk. On a more positive note,

I got my second interview with Boeing! Horray! =)

Instead of spending my weekend grieving at my MBA failures, I have got to prepare for my interview.

It's about time...

Got a phone call early in the morning. Not from any adcom, but from my friend who just got hired by Raytheon! For a college grad, $63K is awesome! Horray for him~Congrats!!!

It just reminded me that I will need to move on with my life, and get ready for my Plan B. As the days are counting down, I realize my dream to attend MBA this year is moving farther from me. I suppose, I should start packing my things to ship to LA, and to look for jobs there.

Status update: No news from any other three schools.

Reflection -->

Spending couple months working on the MBA essays made me find out something about myself. Perhaps, I don't need an MBA to pursue my entrepreneurial passion; it may be the working experiences which will lead me to accomplish what I want to do. And when I accumulate enough working experience, I will have a new profound for MBA journey. What I need to possess to be successful in business is not an impressive degree (as my entrepreneur experience had already proven that age/academic degree does not determine my company's potential), but is my persistence in chasing what I want. As an entrepreneur, I knew everything in the world has risk factor attached to it and I take risks. Applying for an MBA right out of college at 21 was a risk, I took it. I might fail or might not, but whatever it is, at least I tried and definitely No regret!

Well, here is my last attempt to apply for a school in a more specialized degree that I deemed to be more relevant to my future career. It is equally as difficult as applying for MBA, but... as always, I am willing to take the chance. :)
