[MBA] Ah the joy of scheduling

I don't feel like writing essays today. So I thought it might be fun to publish a schedule and see if atleast the fear of public failure will drive me to keep up with it. So here goes.

I tried doing similar scheduling once, but it didn't work. The deadlines I set for myself never work, what works are the deadlines set by the schools. 3 days before any deadline, I stop showering, sleeping, eating, talking.

True. Though now that I am married can't really pull the 'not showering' part for too long. :)

Your pages have been useful for me! I've just started researching B-schools. You have any idea where I can start looking for school rankings based on areas of concentration?

anand - businessweek.com has speciality based rankings. You'll have to sign up for premium membership (~$30/year) for that.

If you are targeting top 15 schools then I wouldn't get too tied up with the speciality rankings though.
