I move on

I got a letter from Wharton EMBA telling me that they have decided to move on without extending me an invitation for a seat. Oh well. With MBA financing at work in shambles, it would have been a dis-service to my family to be spending close to $150K out of my own pocket anyway. If Wharton would've accepted me, I would've had to decline the acceptance for monetary reasons.

On a serious note, it is hard to digest rejections. After all, I felt that my application package deserved more merit than a rejection. I suppose one cannot self proclaim to be good, but at the same time, I had put in quite a bit of time putting together the essays. I have forever lost the time I spent for the essays without any chance of getting it back. Additionally, I just gave Wharton $175 to glance at my application and to decline it.

Hope for better days ahead.
