I got my CAT scorecard today. Ninety nine point two four percentile. But no IIM calls. Obviously I’ll get through another top ranking bschool and live happily ever after. But somehow, this hurts. Which is funny because I never did expect an IIM call. In August, when I stood patiently in queue for my application form, I didn’t expect an IIM call. In November, when I was furiously sharpening my HB pencils, I didn’t expect an IIM call. And now in January, while I nervously waited for the website to load, I didn’t expect an IIM call. Yet, this hurts. Maybe a little part of me was secretly hoping for a miracle. I really did give this everything I had. Anyway, shit happens. I guess I'll never see an IIM emblem printed across my plain white tshirt life.
