There was a time when Market tanked contrary to our expectations and we kept on buying the bottoms until we busted our exposure. Market kept plunging and stayed at those lows for quite a while. We were questioned about our investment philosophy at various meetings. We kept on providing rationale and kept on persevering with the market. Eventually with the start of 3rd quarter market rallied to all-time high’s and we booked significant gains for the company. This was a worthwhile experience that tested our nerves and patience.

I don’t see Haas happening for you. Why? You are too old for the mainstream MBA program by about six years). The lack of a GMAT or GRE score (even when a school is willing to waive the requirement) doesn’t help you. The fact that you are an male Indian puts you in a highly competitive and overrepresented part of the applicant pool. So you will be competing against other Indians from IITs and 730+ GMAT scores who are 26 to 28 years of age, the sweet spot for an admit to an elite U.S. MBA program. Sorry about that. That fact that you were accepted at NYU Stern, however, is great news and you should take Stern up on that invite. You’ll be happy …
