After months of silence, it’s almost unreal to get two pieces of good news in as many (business) days, but that is exactly what has happened. Yes, this afternoon I opened up my email and found an invitation for an interview with Columbia!!

This is especially exciting because it makes my trip seem really worthwhile. I’m leaving tomorrow for San Francisco, then to Ann Arbor on Jan 22 and to New York on Jan 29. In between I’m visiting friends on the weekends.

In San Francisco I will be too early for the regular class visits, but I do have a coffee booked with a current student who I met through this blog, and I will also try to meet the director of the nonprofit management program.

At Ross, I will attend some prospective student activites and also the Black Business Students Association conference. I’m not black, but it still looks like an interesting conference with good speakers and a good way to get a sense of the school and its students.

For New York I haven’t got things arranged just yet, but the general plan will be about the same.

Anyway, there is lots to do before I leave, but I will try to post along the way! Wish me luck!!
