Got an interview waiver mail from Kellogg. I assume that means a greater reliance on essays. I hope my essays are strong enough to back me.
Submitted the Part II of Kellogg Application and thus registered an entry in US MBA applications league.
By the way, I registered for the Darden Info session on 3rd Nov at Bangalore. I don't know whats the implication of getting to attend a session after submitting the application... Should I be ready for interview???
Any expert comments?

ISB Interview Waitlist
A bad start indeed. Got a mail today that I got waitlisted. Don't want to dig into it right now. I've had a very bad day today. Messed up with my lead. Have a tough weekend again with one approaching application deadline and one verdict (personal life) pending.
On top of that I am expecting some work in office in near future.
I've already had a bad experience with waitlist (IIMI call). Now what should I do. Or rather is there something I can do about it?
Any expert advice.

Death Sentence for Kellogg Essays
Two of my reviewers gave a plain death sentence to the first draft of my Kellogg essays. I wasn't happy with the first draft when I wrote it but its always painful to see a brutal murder of eight pages of life story.
Actually I wrote them few days back in very disturbed state of mind. And because I knew that the disturbance was there to stay, I chose to write the essays in the situation of writer's block I had. Now today I got unhappy replies from two of my favorite reviewers. Both tore my first essay and suggested loads of improvements in other essays.
And I went into the mode of introspection for my essays. Following are some ideas I could gather as a checklist for consideration while proofreading essay before giving out for reviews.
1) Follow SAR wherever applicable... SAR is Situation > Action > Result flow for putting an idea in essay.
2) Locate a what/how in every sentence you read and answer it in the next sentence or the same sentence.
3) Condense ideas wherever possible.
I'll keep updating this space as I find more on this. Till then let me get back and work on the kellogg essays draft 2
