Vector Space: October 2007
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 6, 2007. Of acceptance rates and yields. I happened to look at acceptance rates and yields for top schools today, and thought I'd share some thoughts about these 2 parameters. Its well-known that acceptance rate is a measure of the selectivity of the school (#admitted/#applied), while yield is a measure of 'relative desirability' of schools to students (#accepted/#admitted). Schools publish both numbers - and taken together, these numbers offer some pretty interesting insights. Of accep...

Vector Space: Closure
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2007/12/closure.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2007. After quite a long break, I return to my blog again. It's been almost 2 months, I'm knee deep in the application process. While I'm writing essays at full tilt, I also am perplexed by a question which is the topic of my post today. I shall present two arguments, and invite comments from fellow bloggers (to whom I promise, that I shall write more often). Closure is relative. What is your closure? Hey, you're back. guess what? For both of us! Welcome back, VS! Very interesting...

Vector Space: September 2007
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 30, 2007. Autumn heralds R1 deadlines. It's been a full 2 months that this blog has sprung back to life. With the GMAT done, I thought the hardest was over. How wrong, and how vain. B-schools make the field even more level - by encouraging almost anyone from 1-10 years out of school to apply, regardless of industry, education or nationality. My first recommender has already agreed to write what it takes, I talk to the second one tomorrow. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). GMAT Resources I Used.

Vector Space: One Application Per Applicant
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2008/01/one-application-per-applicant.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2008. One Application Per Applicant. As one of my last acts in 2007, I submitted my Harvard and Wharton applications yesterday. And then promptly ended up at what turned out to be an awesome party in DC. The day after, as I re-hydrate my system with detoxifying fluids (whatever that means), I feel an overwhelming sense of relief at having finally submitted. I also feel like penning a thought I had since the past few days as I spent re-positioning essays. Also, this might. Likely reduc...

Vector Space: June 2007
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. It is surprising how effective focussed effort can be - still in GMAT mode, and can't help feeling that I've overcorrected verbal, and not allotted sufficient time for Quant. On GMATPREP 2 today, I improved on most counts. Here are stats:. GMATPREP 2: 780 (Q50, V47) and (Q6,V3). On a separate note, Q6 is embarrassing. I thought I was a quant person. Oh well, hubris punctured. Time to strike back at Q. Friday, June 29, 2007. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Application Resources I Use.

Vector Space: January 2008
http://vectorspace101.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 10, 2008. To all ye future GMAT applicants-. Just pasting the cumulative essence of whatever worked for me during the 2 months that I studied for the GMAT.and I'm sure there's lot more to it, but I'm presenting my 2 cents. The 2-month strategy that worked for me. The author takes no liability towards reduced scores or dings. Lawsuits could be long-drawn and dirty. 2 months(@ 1-2 hours/day on weekdays, and 4-8 hours/day on weekends). OG 11, GMAT Sets, Manhattan GMAT, Test Magic, GMAT PREP.
