The CAT has purred again. With rumours of IIMs contemplating a paper pencil test, the controversies and frustrations of the children have eclipsed the Online CAT's historical debut. Irrespectively, having attempted 48 of the 60 questions (Quants - 14 attempt of 20; Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation - 15 attempt of 20; Verbal Ability - 19 attempt of 20), its tiring to think of having to give yet another CAT shortly.
The GMAT on the other hand has prowled on me once again. I know I can do better and yet I have scored below my abilities - a 710 (having scored 660 with no preparation the first time). Quant - 50 (92%), Verbal - 35 (73%), Total - 710 (92%) and AWA - 5.5.
Now that the statistics is set, I would like to bring to light the question that I have repeatedly asked myself over the last 2 years is - Why MBA? I am sure my college to be would like to know this and will be asking it to me in the near future.
I wish the answer was a static one. But it is not. The answer has evolved and may continue to do so as I go through the rigors of my attempt to enter the MBA program and may even continue further down the line.
My primary motive to enter the MBA program was and continues to remain "freedom". But what does "freedom" have to do with MBA? And how will an MBA help me achieve this freedom?
