Let's be friends...
Accepted has a Facebook page. I invite you to become an Accepted.com fan and/or join our first Accepted.com group, "Ask Accepted: MBA Admissions Experts." We plan to add other groups in the near future. In the meantime, please drop-by.
And all you Acceptees, clients and visitors to Accepted.com, please feel free to add me as a Facebook friend. Yes, this grandma has a Facebook page. That news was met with a certain amount of eye-rolling, shrugged shoulders, and we-can't-take-her-anywhere looks from my kids, who are mortified that their mother has a Facebook page. They'll get over it, and you and I can be Facebook friends.

Thank you indeed for your honest and frank reply a few days ago. Regarding my perfomance professionally, there also I have always been a go-getter. Infact at the age of 29 years, I was made independent incharge of a bank branch, a Branch Manager, which people normally get in their forties. I performed very well there and the stats of the branch like increase in Net Profit, recovery of bad advances among others were very impressive and because of my performance there, I got promoted to the next scale and got transferred to our Regional Office. Then, all my confidential reports are excellent and most of these have got 100/100 and after writing my annual CR once my boss(at that time) told me, " I have given you 100 marks but you deserve 200 marks." I think he has written these words there also. But these things cannot be made available publicly and the truth is that I will have to get my Recommendation Letters from my previous bosses or the higher authorities who saw my work, who have either retired or transferred to our subsidiaries/associate banks.
2. Further, I have heard that Wharton and Columbia are also friendly to older applicants. Whether it will be more advisable to widen my choice to MBA from top 20 schools to Sloan Fellows program by Stanford or LBS? Do you also feel that prospective employers seek MBA more than such programs? London Business School has disclosed the essays for 2009 MBA admissions, could you please forward the same to me? I sincerely thank you for your patience.
With warm regards,
