IIM-A musings

I read an old blog from an IIMA class of 2008 PGPX student/alum. The rates of selectivity for IIM A are amongst the highest in the world. While this is good for someone already in, its a scary scenario for me. Being "international" would be a great advantage here, but I'm not. In fact, i bet atleast 99% of the apps are from Indians. Other factors will be the GMAT, IIT Status, and Undergrad GPA. 

On te plus side, the number of experienced doctors will not be overwhelming, i guess. And my score is not too bad. Also, my age would not seem as big a drawback in this class as in most others. Worth a shot, i guess.

Btw, the pplication format is totally crazy. No essays, just the biodata details, and even in that, all you have to do is run through drop down menus one after the other, asking your expertise from nil to excelllent. These menus are all about things that won't be a part of a doc's work life, so i don't know how to answer them at all!!! Stalled on this for more than a month now!!
