What's up, y'all. It's been a while since i've had time to write anything substantial, so I thought I might as well do it now. I've got several things to update you on, so let's get to it.
First, my long overdue assessment of the Fuqua Ford Workshop. All I can say about that weekend is...."WOW!" The Fuqua admissions staff did it up really big for us and I am very happy to have been a part of it. I knew that Fuqua had a strong community before going down there, but the folks down there have major love for each other and the school itself. Plus, that weekend was the 20th anniversary of their Black and Latino student organization, so a lot of the alums came back on campus for it. Given the rigorous nature of the program at Fuqua, I fully expected the students to be too busy to talk much about their experiences, but I was happy to see that the opposite happened. Every student that I spoke with went out fo their way to tell me about their experiences and give me advice to help me with my admissions interview. Also, the other prospectives there were a great group of folks that I could really see myself bonding with if we all end up at Fuqua. Overall, the Ford Workshop was fantastic and I'd like to send a shout out to the Admissions staff, my mentor Gustavo, the Fuqua students and alums, and everyone else I met there.
Second, as of 1:00pm yesterday afternoon, I am officially finished with my B-school application process. I turned in my Consortium application on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week and had to write my school-specific essays for Darden and Tuck to be completely finished. I knocked out Darden on Friday and mailed it off and then did the same for Tuck yesterday. It feels good to have those out of my hands so I can concentrate on getting back to life before I started my applications. It's all a waiting game for me now. I'll get my first decision on Dec 11 from Duke and it would be a blessing to go into Christmas knowing that I'll be in school somewhere next Fall. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-)
