Hi all... to anyone who still has this RSS... I'm going to IIM Bangalore!!!
These have been difficult months for everyone, and I decided to opt out of the US MBA scene. It was a tough decision, but i just couldn't see a way to either justify the investment, or to get the money to invest in the first place. In the turmoil, blogosphere sunk below my radar, though i still read occasional posts. The new 1-yr MBA's by IIM's were still interesting because of lower cost, shorter duration, and almost as importantly the higher age/experience of the students.
I studied them and found only 2 worth applying, IIM A & B. Applied at Ahmedabad, had a great interview (I thought) and was convinced I'd get it. But all I got was a ding. Bangalore depended heavily on the interview, as they had only one essay. I went to India for the interview, and was happy, very happy with it.
I didn't dare to hope, but i got the offer letter, and now I'm in the process of returning to India. And leaving my practice, my institute, and surgery. I'm excited and scared, and determined to make this work.
I hopw it does.

Wonderful decision. People will argue endlessly to degrade Indian schools and system. If your network is going to be in US and only handful people are going to be in India, why do you need such network even if it is mind blowing?
