Figuring out which business school you want to go to is a grind.
Sydney ThomasGUEST
All of it is a grind.
RimaHOST
Every time I am part of something, I also find a way to break out from that and create my own experience within that thing.
RimaHOST
The most proud memory I have around this was when I was studying for my GMAT.
RimaHOST
I basically, as the girlies online say, I disappeared and locked in for like at least six months.
RimaHOST
And it was such a defining character building season for me because I was turning down a lot of social interactions so that I could sit at a coffee shop all day and and study my ass off so I could get my score up.
