…I decided that put my hands back on the GMAT was the best to do. Only I now how hard was for me to get back to the study, a step that I thought I had finalized. Sometimes I find myself wondering why I wasn’t good enough to attend in INSEAD. While I was on vacations, this subject crossed my mind a few times. I tried to overcome the same old feelling that every only child, like myself, has: good or bad, I had something to do with it. But then I asked myself: Isn’t this true? Isn’t my job to influence, not controlling, the step I want to take? And, in my perpective, not having a 70% on both sections of the GMAT was a strong reason for not being accepted. Havind this diagnostic, I must improve my grade even more by showing a balaced GMAT.

Hi,
I was very pleased to read your blog as I will start an application to the INSEAD MBA program soon. Actually we have something in common as I am also a pharmacist but I am working as a researcher in Medicinal Chemistry for a big pharmaceutical company. I know exactly how you can feel as I had the same kind of delusion when I tried to switch my career from research to consulting (I screwed up an interview at McKinsey and Company
). Anyway good luck man and hope you will make it next time!!!! Be sure that I will keep an eye on your blog to know how it is going for you!
