Another Marathon and Another Fundraiser
I know it has been a while since I’ve posted anything here, but it has been a very busy end of summer and beginning of fall. I took the GMAT in August and achieved my goal (I can recap this in another blog post), and so I proceeded to write essays and fill out applications. [...]
