My last posting was a bit out of character. As you may have guessed, I didn’t do well at all on the GMAT. Putting it in financial terms, I didn’t receive a good return on my investment. I knew I was going to have trouble but I honestly thought I would get at least a 600 on the test. I ended up with a 530. So embarrassing…

Like I have said before, it is what it is. I did my best on my essays, submitted my application to UC Davis, and now it is just a matter of waiting to see what they come back with. If Davis finds me worthy because of my strong professional background, leadership potential, great references, my ability to pay the $60K for the tuition, and I work for a company that is a strong supporter ($) of their program, then I will step up proudly, work my keester off and get a Masters at an academic institution worthy of my time!

But, every smart girl has a Plan B …

Plan B1: Research other programs, pick a few others to apply to, and start my MBA program somewhere other than UC Davis.

Plan B2: Hire a tutor, study more for the GMAT, take the GMAT again and get a stellar score, reapply to UC Davis, get accepted and start the program in 2008.

Neither option for my Plan B is exciting me in any way, shape, or form, but those are my options.

I musn’t forget that I am still taking classes to support a successful start to my UC Davis MBA program! I had this last week off because of Spring Break (too funny! I can’t remember a time when I had time off because of Spring Break!) but back on the Microeconomic’s horse again starting tomorrow night. I was too busy licking my wounds all week to really do any reading, so in usual fashion, I am cramming all day today to make sure I am caught up to Chapter 5 in time for class. Missing out spending Easter with my family! I’m reading each chapter outloud and recording so I can do additional studying while I’m driving to and from work. Making my own audiobook!
