thanks bull,wasleys and knok. bull, i applied using my GMAT score and ofcourse the whole essays and stuff. IIM B and C said that they have decided not to take my interview :) and said that they would give/not give an admit based on my background. I guess being from IIT helps a wee bit here ... so fingers crossed for B and C. meanwhile, IIMA, i have an interview scheduled in bangalore in the second week of march. lets see how it goes. in anycase, i have pretty much decided which univ i want to join :) bull, let me know if you need any help with the apping process.

:) vingmat, i am here too to congratulate you and post my own news :D me too made it to ISB. congrats vingmat, hope to see you soon in hydi.

ok folks, its time again for me to thank everyone here. Erin, wasleys, thebullfighter and everyone else here thanks very much. I have made it to the Indian School of Business. :D Have booked my flight for India for the 23rd of this month. Meanwhile I have also been shortlisted for an interview with the Indian Institute of Managment - Ahmedabad. (this might come as a shock to some :)). yes i applied to IIMA,B and C. and wasn't actually expecting a call from IIMA. but :) i have it. hopefully will crack it. the last three weeks have been very hectic with app deadliens and interviews and i apologize for that. Hopefully, will get back to my normal groove here at TM. thanks again everyone !

another post flicked from bwforums god knows where the world is headed ....

I have new found respect for the Australian cricket team. they have donated all of their prize money from yesterdays test match victory to the tsunami relief fund. http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,11805322-23212,00.html meanwhile, India, pak and srilanka are planning on a charity match. I hope the big names in other sports follow it up.

interesting discussions going on in business week forums and some other blogs. here's one http://forums.businessweek.com/bw-bschools/messages/?msg=60163.1 you might have to sign up to view the message. not sure.

knok, the sri lankan embassy in D.C has put up message accepting donations. I guess that would be a good place to start since it would be reliable. let me know if you need more info. http://www.slembassyusa.org/

interesting blog gmat168 :) btw, i found this blog while googling. thought it might be useful for people here .. http://errorlogs.blogspot.com/

here's a list of other alternate options available for donations: http://www.vichaar.org/article134.html

knok, I do not know this organization personally. but the source of this website comes from my IIT-alumni association group and hence I believe there is no fraud involved in it. I have gone through the website and found it to be a legtimate one and hence this thread. it is a permanent one and it has helped people in previous releif works. Just my opinion. you can know more about the group from their website. http://www.aidindia.org/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=61 I believe the tsunami aid relief is being headed by an IIT-madras prof in India. The US address is to fecilitate donations in the U.S. and for srilanka and other parts of south asia you might want to visit worldvision.org.

:D I too lay my case to rest :) so, when are the SNAP results coming out bull ?

then what was this about this is not a special case of combination vs permutation that we were discussing about. its a completely different issue of who picks up first. be it permutation or combination you will still have that issue of who picks the ball first which wasn't what I was addressing.

ok here you go .. yes it makes a difference if you assume they are picked one after the other. GmatGnat's method that I was referring to: please do check my previous postings. both the approaches are correct is what I have been saying all along without indulging into who exactly is picking first. that is a completely different issue and irrelevant to the point i wanted to make.
