JOKA Calls..........

So I finally update after the IIM final results have come out......the results were supposed to come out on the 10th but like it always happens one or two IIMs actually released them on the 9th itself......among the two were IIMB where i didnt have a call and IIML where i had a call........I must frankly say that i never expected to convert IIML but when it finally did happen(me not converting that is) it was very disappointing........all those feelings from the IIT days came back to me......it was my 4th straight reject after all.........barely slept during the night and woke up early next morning to confirm that i hadnt converted L........

The wait for the next hour was excruciating.........you know i like most CAT aspirants am a PG member........and when the final results came out for XLRI,FMS and IIML there were threads opened for people who converted.........i always wanted to post in a thread like that........also orkut communities were immediately created..........i wanted to be a part of them........

My prayers were answered at around 8 AM........calcutta results came out..........and i was very hopeful........with trembling fingers i entered my details.........and it was a great feeling looking at the screen........I had made it..........I had made it to my dream college.........the ivy league in india was gonna welcome Prateek Singh to its fold.........there were tears of joy quite literally.....this achievement had been a long time coming......and i think that it still hasnt sunk in......

Subsequently the IIMK results came out........and i was shocked when they offered me a direct admit........obviously i am not going to take it but still feels good.....i was actually starting to feel confident about IIMA as well........although i was sure of going to Cal had i converted Ahd as well......well the fairytale ended with the IIMA results coming out at 10........I wasnt even in the waitlist.....i was surprised at how well i took it........and the icing on the cake was the IIMI result in the evening........i made it there too......

So finally my IIM results read-Converted-3......Rejected at 2......not bad considering that my profile is average........I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout this journey......My parents would take the first mention......all of my siblings........some close friends......the amazing faculty at IMS......thanks a lot to all of you......and to all of you who liked my journey and somehow prayed that I make it thanks a lot to you as well........

This will be one of my last posts from Pune........I would never forget updating the blog with what i face at Joka.............I know those posts will be as or even more interesting than what the last few have been..........waiting for the fun to begin.........bring on JOKA!!!!!!!!
