MBA School Ranking in 2011
There are two popular MBA rankings for full time Business Schools in the U.S. These are the US News rankings and the Business Week rankings. These rankings use a sophisticated rating model and are subjective and differ in their list of schools a little. But generally a ranking is indicative of the quality of the MBA programs the business school has to offer. Thus MBA from a top ranked school is generally regarded as a good investment. Students must remember thought there are hundreds of Business Schools that are not ranked but offer good quality programs.

IESE Business school – Welcome kit
Last Friday, I received my “Welcome Kit” from IESE. Even though you know that you are admitted to a business school, this welcome kit is sweet re-affirmation that you really are in!! And needless to say i was jumping with joy when I saw the kit, which made me feel that now I’m part of a family called IESE MBA 2012.
So lets see whats in the nice red box!
As soon as I opened the box, a red gym bag was smiling right at me. Although my camera was adamant that it was dark maroonish-purpleish in color i definitely think its the legendary IESE red.
But anyways, inside the bag were some very interesting and unexpected stuff, and some expected stuff. Here are the contents,
1. A welcome letter by the Director of Admissions
2. An invitation to attend the Admit Weekend in Barcelona on 28-29th May,
3. A welcome guide to the school, city, housing and much much more (and wow its got some amazing pics of BCN),
4. A map of Barcelona,
5. IESE Alumini Magazine – latest copy
6. And rather surprisingly a Solar cellphone charger and a bio-degradable pen. Boy, do they know how to state their “clean green” motto!
Here is another picture of all the goodies for your viewing pleasure.

On a totally different note, I’m getting close to the end of my stay in the States. Will be leaving for India this Thursday. Yesterday was horrible seeing off my GF at the airport. I am currently, without a job, without a car, without anything important to do and now my gf is 7500 miles away
So with that note let me sign off for now.
Cheers!
P.S. I’m currently reading a very interesting book on MBA admissions. I’ll be posting a detailed review of the book in my next post. So watch out for it!

A shout out from the East!!
Hi everybody! A year back I promised myself never to let a fortnight go by without a blog post, but my move to India came with several thousand commitments and engagements that I was simply even not in a position to turn my mac on! So i hope you guys are not too frustrated..
Anyways here is a quick recap of the past 20 days –
* Reached Chennai, India on the 10th of April, sleeping my way through the 16 hour non-stop flight – thanks to the empty Boeing 777!
* I was warmly greeted by the 110 degree excruciating summer blast which still adamantly continues.
* Paid a visit to the terrifying Passport office and spent one day standing in a que along with 2000 people in a 20 by 20 room on a peak summer noon.
* Got hooked to the IPL (Indian Premier League) and ended up going to see the most boring match of the tournament – praise my luck!
* Cheered for my team Barca FC all along only to see them loose notoriously to Inter. (But hope is not lost and I’ll continue to cheer)
* Got nominated for the Clear Admit Best of Blogging Awards! Wow this is a privilege considering the other nominee blogs! Thanks CA and thank you dear readers.
* Got a new phone number and a phone. So if anybody wants to give me a shout out please email me for my number. (On another note, I’m simply blown away by the number of new local cell phone manufacturing companies which have sprouted across the country!)
* Read 2 books – Bounce and Liars Poker – Both of which I truly enjoyed.
* Networked with fellow IESE admits and some current students. Spanish visa and accomodation are on top in my list of things to do.
Overall life in the past 15 days was slow with nothing much to do. I’ve prepared a to-do list which includes taking spanish lessons, joing a fitness program (lol) and preparing visa documentation.
Will be back soon with another post that would be of interest to GMAT test takers !
Happy Summer!
