Hello! I'm new here. So, here goes. I have worked in sales for 6 years, so rejection is definitely something I'm use to. In sales, you learn that it takes so many no's to get to a yes. So, that's how I am approaching this process. I'm a first time applicant with an EXTREMELY LOW GMAT score applying to get my Phd in business/organization behavior. It has been my dream to be a professor since before I received my bachelor's degree over 10 years ago. Since then, I've received my MBA and look forward to being accepted into a Phd program. I finished my 11th application last week and have already received 2 no's and found out one of the schools doesn't offer the specialization I want. Here's to enough no's to get to a yes... even if it's gonna take 15 and two years of applying!
