Hey friendzzzz I'm just curious if it's a bad idea to write a little bit about some research stuff in an area of concentration that seems not that much related to accounting? :watermelon::peach::strawberry:

There are a few programs I've been looking at that have programs in both strategy and management that primariy use a sociological approach (as opposed to economic). These appear to include Ross and UIUC, and some others. Many programs don't have placement descriptions or publication descriptions for current students. They also don't have course descriptions or reading lists to demonstrate the nature of the programs. Anyone know of a way to tease out which of the concentrations is stronger? My interests are sort of on the border between the two -- and it's hard enough to weed out the strategy programs that are basically applied econ. Thanks from a longtime lurker whose time has come!

Ok, desperate call here. Have been preparing since sometime now, however lately i realized that I suffer from a pathetic syndrome. I have this problem of absentmindedness and that too of highest degree. This is specially when I am reading. I don't know how serious this issue will be taken but I am assured that this is a very critical issue and if treated will help me score much much better. Whenever I read, my mind starts wandering towards un-related things e.g. any recent discussions, gadgets that I want to own, to entrepreneurship, to recent date with my girlfriend, to any random thing one can possibly think of.. I know this sounds very childish and un-professional but is a fact. Worst part is sometimes I don't even realize it. Also, these lapses in attention are for very short intervals, maybe 1-2 seconds but occur very frequently or so but the thing is, I have to return back to the part I missed and inadvertently even skip it. All in All I spend much more time with much less comprehension. This is not just in RC, even in CR, SC and even Maths.... I tend to re read quite often, infact almost 90% of the time. I also think so much when I am doing other activities like talking to someone, watching a movie etc. When I realized about it I searched over internet about the possible remedies. I tried meditation, with earplugs on, studying in White Noise, be here now technique. No matter how hard I try not to think about random stuffs I always end up doing so. I very much want to ace gmat but don't know how to go about it. I recently took few mocks - Manhattan - 670 Powerprep - 700 Veritas - 600 !!!!! :'(( And 1 thing i found common in all(even the questions not taken as mocks) - My accuracy in RC tends to be the lowest (with big difference). Also while analyzing my mocks I realized something. 85% of the mistakes that I committed were not because of forgetting an SC rule or committing a calculation mistake but because I misread (or skipped)words in Statement or Passage or Question or Options. No matter which part of test, I committed the same mistake everywhere. I am sure even while typing this long message I must have thought of numerous random stuffs. I know if I can get over this, big awards are hiding for me. I need advice to overcome this problem. Should I see a psychologist? If anyone is facing the same issue pls let me know. Experts, you can be of great help,u have the experience of psychology of variety of students. I will do everything to overcome it. I have my GMAT exam in 13 days. PM me if u think it can be personal. PS - I don't do drugs, don't smoke,drink very seldom(once in maybe 2months,none since 7-8 months) Thanks in advance for your patience and reply.

I am curious to hear some thoughts on this, since this board is a place full of motivated and exceptional students. Sometimes (or many times) it happens that, even though I am very interested in what I'm supposed to study or do research on, I end up wasting my time on unuseful stuff. At the end of the day I am worse off since both I didn't do what I wanted to and I have less time for other stuff like sport, friends, travelling.. Do you have any "self-commitment device" you want to share?:idea:
