...Success!!!

Turns out... a 20-point gain on my GMAT score was, as a matter of fact, enough to persuade admissions staff to give me a chance. I have been accepted to the David Eccles School of Business' Master's of Business Administration program at University of Utah!! I start in August 2010. After months of struggling to lay out a plan for the future, we finally have something solid to work towards.

Looks like I will have to remove the BYU Football sticker from my car.

Hey congrats! You should make some friends in the medical school and convince them to let Ben in!

Get ready for two nice full years of wondering when you'll finally be able to earn money again. And it's okay to suck up. From what Beau says, MBA programs are 90% about the connections you make. So go kiss some butt! Woo hoo!

Dude, that's JUST RAD! Seriously, this made my day. More than the iPad did! The trial of your faith was indeed a success. RAD.

Thanks guys. I got the letter in my email, actually, and I saw it this morning and couldn't open it for about 10 minutes. I wasn't expecting to get it this soon, so it was a surprise to see it. So I pretty much spent that time preparing myself for the letdown, and when I saw that it was a recommendation of acceptance I got way excited. I am really, really excited.

We'll see if I'm still excited once classes start... I've heard the program is extremely rigorous...

Congrats.
Now is when all the fun begins... I'd leave the BYU sticker. I have my Cal Poly stickers on my cars at Davis.
