When I checked my mail box today, I got a very pleasant surprise!
Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University has been very kind to offer me a 100% scholarship to join their MBA program. I am extremely touched by their gesture and generosity. It is a great feeling when someone makes you feel welcome and appreciated.
I feel very honoured and I am very grateful.
Ironically, I am looking for something else! At this stage, I am seeking admission into the best school around because I believe that I belong among the best brains and the best talent, among the best faculty and staff. Its a lot like the dating game - You like someone who doesn't like you (yet). But there is also someone who likes you, whom unfortunately, you don't like!
But I have to admit that TRSM, Ryerson was very strict with regards to selection of candidates. This is because I was asked to re-take my GMAT after my first score of 530/800 in order to be assesed again for selection. It was only after I managed to secure 640/800 that they selected me and gave me a scholarship. I love Ryerson U & the late Ted Rogers (may his soul rest in peace) for that!
This blog site is about my journey to B-school. The posts were written in 2009 & 2010, BEFORE I started my MBA. I had no mentor / guidance while applying & learned through trial & error, from random sources like websites, forums, and blogs. I got acceptance into 4 universities & had an interview at a 5th. Accepted a scholarship at Ryerson U. Started MBA in Sep. 2010. Completed in Dec. 2012. Good luck with your MBA applications and journey! Take care. Gerry.
