Hey everyone,
I used GMAT club sparingly during my application process and especially during the waiting period after submitting. As you can see to the left, I applied to 5 schools (all round 1) and got into my true top choice. I wanted to chronicle my b-school app journey for anyone that needs some advice, anecdotes, reassurance or just entertainment!
So I've started a blog about the experience:
b-school debrief: an engineer’s (multi)year-long journey from GMAT to admission
I'll go from the GMAT all the way through deciding and submitting my deposit for UCLA Anderson, and possibly continue updating as I go through the program over the next 2 years. I'll update this thread each time I have a new post. Hope this can help!

Congrats on getting into your top choice! Anderson is one of my top choices as well for when I apply this fall. Maybe I can pick your brain when application time comes
