176.9 secondsMature
Timing is the key to everything in this world, is it not? If you time everything correctly your entire life, then your entire life will be full of bliss and success. Up until today I have been far too anxious, and have never allowed time to pass between my plots and plans.
Not to be confused with pots and pans, of course.
So I'm sitting on top of this building, staring through my technologically advanced binoculars at Bruce Wayne's humble abode---well, not so humble. If it was made of gold it'd look cheaper, almost. The outer walls and windows are so clean.
Too bad I'm going to blow them to pieces in a few minutes.
Or a few hours, depends on when the timing feels right.
OH! Would you look at that. It's Bruce Wayne's old friend, Vicki Vale. Isn't she a cute one? I wonder if I should blow her up when she attempts to knock on his front door. Hmm...tempting, tempting.
Oh. But am I really that heartless?
Why, yes I am.
I raise my hand and stab my finger into the detonator, just as the beautiful Vicki Vale lifts her hand to knock on the door.
Five seconds pass...
I sure hope that Batman isn't standing too close to the area. It would be rather anti-climatic, now wouldn't it?
Oh, yes! An explosion! Lovely! The mushroom cloud that now envelopes Bruce Wayne's "kingdom" is a beautiful shade of red---or is it orange? I can't tell. I was never good with colors.
Mother always said I wore too much green. Hmm...I never really listened to that woman. She was an insolent whore who's intelligence was much lesser than my own. Even my father was a complete failure. I didn't inherit their foul genes though. I'm sure that I'm the son of a billionaire genius who didn't have time for another brilliant child such as me. Which is why he sent me to parents who are complete morons. So I could see what not to be. I'm sure one day my theory will be confirmed.
Oh! I completely forgot!
I look through my binoculars again.
OH JOY! Vicki Vale is laying on the ground! Oh my goodness, I must have placed the bomb a teeney weeney bit too far to the right. I was really hoping the flames would consume her body, so no one would know what ever became of the gorgeous Vicki Vale.
I wonder when Batman will show up. Hmm...when he does, I'll be watching.
And no...the fun is not over. It's only beginning.
First was the explosion, the next part is the best part, in my opinion.
I'm going to reveal the identity of Batman to the entire world.
And I'm going to do it in approximately 176.9 seconds.

There's an old saying, Atham karuthal, Onam velukkum (If it rains on Atham, then Onam could be a clear skies). But the weather department has predicted a wet weather with heavy rains in several parts of the state.
Fishermen have been warned against go into the sea as heavy rains are likely to hit across the state.
"The monsoon has come into an active phase again. Normally September gets 12 percent rains in the south west monsoon," said K Santosh Kumar, director, Indian meteorological department, Thiruvananthapuram.
As it reaches the tail-end of the season, Kerala has already received seven percent excess rainfall this month in the last couple of days. "Though we started with a 31 percent in June, by July the deficiency was down to seven percent.
The August rainfall was in excess of 74 percent," said senior atmospheric scientist P V Joseph.
He said that last year, June had-34 percent excess, July- 14 percent and August had 12 percent deficiency.
While the monsoon has an active- break (weak) cycle with an average of 40 days, this year, there has been no major break phase, said Santosh Kumar.
Across the country, monsoon was weak in June till mid-July. "We have had two active phases till now. It was active from July 14- 7 August, monsoon was active over India reducing the deficiency to 18 percent. The second active phase began on August 30 and it will continue for next 2-3 weeks. With good rainfall from August 30- Sep 2, the rain deficiency over India has come down to 16 percent and we hope that by the end of September the deficiencies will come down further to a figure less than 10 percent," Joseph said.
"In El Nino years the cycle is longer and 2014 is a year like that. We expect only two active – break cycles this year and not three as in normal years. In active spells there will be passage of low pressure systems and depressions across north India boosting monsoon rain potential of India.
The only cause for concern in this monsoon has been that two main meteorological subdivisions of Punjab and Haryana which are the major regions which produce the majority of our agricultural produce, said National institute of oceanography senior scientist M R Ramesh Kumar.
He said that one of the reasons for the revival of the monsoon this year, is that the number of convective systems over the Northwest Pacific Ocean during this monsoon season were substantially less and no new systems formed over the Bay of Bengal, which in turn helped the monsoon to be active over the Indian subcontinent.

Patients with locoregionally advanced, stage III or IV, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are usually managed with a combined modality approach that includes surgery, radiation therapy (RT), and/or chemotherapy. Traditionally, these tumors were managed with a combination of surgery and RT, if operable. In the last several decades, definitive RT plus chemotherapy is being used for patients where organ function preservation is appropriate, for those with surgically unresectable disease, and for those who are medically inoperable.
Issues regarding the optimal dose and schedule for patients receiving definitive RT are reviewed here. The principles of RT as applied to patients with head and neck cancer are presented separately. (See "General principles of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer".)
Definitive RT alone remains an appropriate option for selected patients with stage III/IV disease. These include:
●Patients with a contraindication to platinum-based chemotherapy (eg, hearing loss, renal insufficiency, neuropathy, bone marrow disease). The use of RT plus cetuximab in this setting is discussed elsewhere. (See "Locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: Approaches combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy", section on 'Cetuximab alone plus RT'.)
●Patients who refuse chemotherapy but still desire the locoregional control and possible survival benefits of RT.

Gemme: I Don't CareMature
I stayed on his lap for a while, just thinking. I needed some flowers; I also needed to compose myself. In about two hours I should be there. Ike would be going then too, lilies and roses. White and red, mothers favourite I'd pick them up at the florist when I went, I would normally go on my own but I knew Luca was home sick, it would do him no harm to come with me I'm sure. After a little while longer I sat up, turning to him. "You best get ready. I don't want to be late. We'll catch the 12:25 to Cameron." I stated whilst putting on a little mascara and red eye shadow, red was mother's favourite colour.
From his reflection I saw him shoot me a confused gaze, "late for what?"
"To visit mother's grave. We always go at the same time, the time it happened."
"Oh... right." He disappeared and reappeared at my door in a matter of moments, he wore a pair of black skinny jeans and the same white top as last night.
"I'm sorry to bring you along; I just thought that you may want to visit Cameron again. You don't have to be with me when I go to the cemetery."
"No, s'ok, I don't think I'll go to the cemetery though, if Ike's gonna be there."
"Of course, feel free to go where you like." I nodded, grabbing my key and glancing at my watch before I walked out the door. He nodded slightly and I took his hand, squeezing it gently. "There is no way to disgrace me there. There is no body you see, we never got it back from the police. We could have used our powers but we thought it best not to meddle further. Ike shan't do anything to you either. You'd be lucky if he even speaks a word."
I liked where we lived, there was a train station so close. So we go there quickly and had to wait for the train. "Ike hates me. I won't bother him. I wouldn't want to end up in a fight with him and 'disgrace' you."
"I didn't mean it like that; I just found no other way to put it."
"Whatever, it's not like I don't know I'm trailer trash."
"You're not." He raised an eyebrow and I found myself repeating myself."What? You're not."
"Gemme, my mom was a whore, my dad was a wife beater and I was born and raised - badly - in the back of a trailer. You don't get much more trailer trash than that." He smiled wryly.
"Just because your mum and dad were like that doesn't mean you have to be."
"No, you're right. Neither of them were drug addicts. Shall we go?" He motioned toward the train that had just pulled into the station and the doors swung open.
I nodded and stepped on, waiting till we got to a seat until I spoke. "but you're not a wife beater or a whore."
"I got my temper from my dad. I've come close enough."
"Only when I've done something really wrong, you're not like that."
"You didn't do anything wrong, though."
"It would have looked that way from your point of view, I would have thought the same where I in your position." He gazed out the window in silence and I sighed. "Damn it, I know you're different."
"Okay. Look, let's not argue, yeah?"
"Yeah, I guess, but if anything you've protected me more than being a threat to me."
"Hmm, when I was shot, the guy that tried to rape me, not Ben the other..." Crap Gemme you big mouthed fool!
"Ben... tried to rape you?" Something started shaking, I didn't look around to see what I just glanced at the floor, not replying. I had already dug a hole I didn't want it any deeper.
"He is a dead man walking," Luca growled.
I shook my head furiously, "No! Don't Luca." I pleaded. He wasn't listening, but after a while he turned to me, "why didn't you tell me before!?" I didn't look up, I just mumbled into the floor. "I didn't want you to hate yourself for not being there. I knew what you would try to do to Ben even though he was angry with his girlfriend and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"That's not gonna stop me wanting to rip his head off."
"Please, don't." I pleaded, looking up to see his raging chocolate eyes. I wish I had kept my head down.
"He tried to rape you, Gemme. It doesn't matter what excuse he used, he needs to be taught a serious lesson."
"But he failed, no harm was done!" I don't know why I was defending him so much, but I felt like I had to, I dunno I didn't want to see him hurt.
"Does that make any difference?" No, I guess not...
"I already taught him a lesson, you don't have to!" Mmm, that must have hurt.
"You are the least aggressive person I know. How did you teach him a lesson?"
"I umm... bit him." I wasn't about to go into details, but I feared I may have to.
He paused and looked at me, holding back a snort of laughter. "I still think he should be taught a lesson," he muttered, shaking his head.
"Luca, no!" I think I was defending him because he had helped me, no harm was done and I realised why he was doing it.
"Why the fuck not? Did he really think he would get away with it?" His voice rose again and he punched the edge of the table we were sitting at.
"Because he helped me as well; no harm was done and I understood why he did it and its all fine! There is no reason to stir up old news now." He growled wordlessly through gritted teeth.
"I just don't see how beating Ben up will help."
"It'll make me feel better." ??
"But he hasn't done anything to you."
He gave me an almost exasperated look. "It's Benny for fuck's sake! He doesn't need to do anything."
"I give up, Luca." I sighed as I got off the train, Luca following me some time after.
"Sorry." He muttered but I kept walking.
"Whatever," I waved a hand dismissing him and waited till we were outside the station before I spoke again. "Okay, well I'm going to go down to the florist and pick up the flowers before going to the cemetery. You do what you want, I don't care. I'll meet you back here in about an hour or two." He nodded and walked off and I shrugged, setting off in the direction of the florist.

Vital conference for GAA
The stage is set for what promises to be one of the most important conferences in the history of the Ulster Council.
It's at the Stormont Hotel, Belfast on October 20 that representatives from clubs throughout the province will gather to participate in a club and community development initiative hosted by the Council and embracing several major issues.
The prime purpose of the conference will be to equip club officials and volunteers with the skills required to help develop their club as the central 'hub' of the community.
"The conference will also highlight the positive effect the GAA clubs can have in tackling the wider social issues including anti-social behaviour, enhancement of social capital and the ongoing health agenda," said an Ulster Council spokesman.
The conference will include workshops and a range of discussions which will give club officers opportunity for personal development in the area of community leadership.
The conference will also include a plenary forum with a specially-selected panel which will allow Ulster Council officials to obtain feedback from club volunteers on how to improve current programmes and GAA initiatives.
"The conference attendance will be limited to 400 and places will be distributed on a first come, first served basis," added the Council spokesman.
The cost of attending is £15 or €20.
It is expected that a range of outside groups and businesses with an interest in club development will be present at the conference.
"This is an important conference particularly in the current climate and we are confident that there will be an enthusiastic response," said the spokesman.

As the end of the school year comes around the bend, I have watched with pride how far my little men have strided and grown learning from their own failures and successes. I watch in awe how spirited they have become -- I wonder is it time to unravel some of the bubble wrap that surrounds them? It was just this weekend my nine-year old taught me an important lesson knowing when it's time to let go of the reins.
"Mom! Do we have any strawberries?"
"Yes! They are in the fridge. I'll get them for you in a minute."
"It's okay Mom! I got it!"
I hear him open the utensil drawer, shifting through it, and peaked my head around the corner.
"What are you looking for?"
"The cutting knife."
"I'll cut them for you."
"No mom! I can do it!"
Instinctively, I walked over getting the knife out of the drawer ready to begin slicing the strawberries for him. He put out his hand for the knife looking exasperated.
"Mom! I've done it before."
"When you were gone one afternoon and dad was downstairs working in the basement. I just did it. And I didn't cut my fingers. Just let me do it."
I handed over the knife and hovered over him watching intensely as he chopped up the strawberries.
"Be careful. Watch your fingers."
"I know Mom."
It was with that he carefully cut each strawberry,paying attention to every detail, ensuring his little fingers were safely away from the blade.
Once he was finished, "See I did it! You know I'm going to be in grade 4 next year. I can do this stuff."
It was with that small moment of hovering over my son, watching him grow to become more independent and responsible. I knew it was time to loosen the reins and give him a little bit more freedom. If I want him grow to become the confident young man he is meant to be, I can't always hover, and must slowly unravel just a little bit more of the bubble wrap that I have constricting him.
Do you think we give children less responsibility these days? How do you know when it's time to unravel the bubble wrap?

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) don't really have any super-specific meaning, they are simply the most commonly-used acronyms to describe the practice of teaching English to non-English speakers. So, TEFL or TESOL certification is simply a way of saying that you are qualified to teach English.
Before heading for Taiwan to teach English, doing a certification program can be highly beneficial both in terms of the ease with which you can find a position and the ability you will have to teach the material. TEFL certification can flesh out your understanding of complex English grammar, give you important lessons on teaching methods and language acquisition theory and give you some bonus points on your resume. There is no question about it - finding English teaching jobs in Taiwan will be much easier if you have a TESOL or TEFL certificate.
Most TESOL / TEFL certification courses are short - just four to five weeks when taken full-time. The most common and standard English teaching certification is the CELTA, Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. The CELTA is internationally recognized and organized by Cambridge University. CELTA certification is available around the world, and each certification center undergoes an evaluation by Cambridge, meaning that each one is more or less accredited.
CELTA training is intense, with 120 hours of instruction in the four- or five-week period and complex linguistic and theoretical material covered throughout, and vast amounts of lesson planning practice required. Some certification centers offer part-time courses as well, so you can look into those if you don't have a ton of free time. Many CELTA graduates say that the certification process was the most difficult month of their educational lives, but that the amount of practical knowledge gained is highly beneficial in the end. If you plan to take the course, make sure you have the time and energy that will be needed to dedicate to day after day of classes, homework, lesson planning and so on.
For those looking to get certified from home, there are unfortunately no distance-learning CELTA programs. A quick Google search for "TEFL certification" reveals about a thousand different "get certified online" pages, but these should definitely be avoided unless you have no other option. The CELTA is far and away the most highly regarded certification, and online courses tend to be looked down upon as they require no actual teaching practice or evaluation.
In addition to the CELTA, there is the CertTESOL program, offered by Trinity College London rather than Cambridge University. It is equally intensive and almost as well-recognized as the CELTA, so either option should be fine.
Check out my eBook Teach English in Taiwan: The Official Survival Guide for more information about teaching English and living in Taiwan.
After the intensive certification program, you will know more about English than you ever thought possible. You will have been exposed to a wide range of teaching methodology and theory, and have a good amount of experience with lesson planning. Also, you will have the resource of your classmates, with whom you can keep in touch and kick ideas around in the future.
Additionally, you will set yourself apart from the stereotype that many English teachers in Taiwan are not dedicated to teaching ESL and have simply come to Formosa to exploit the English job market and good pay. The TEFL / TESOL certification shows that you are serious about teaching and that, at the least, you understand the material better than the average foreigner off the street. With a CELTA or other accredited certification, you will also qualify for more ESL jobs in Taiwan, such as those in private high schools or junior high schools.
There are certification courses in Taiwan, but the scheduling is sporadic. I recommend that, if you are going to do CELTA, you do it in your home country. Because the classes are so intense, scheduling and your ability to focus will be vital. If you've got some extra cash to live in Taiwan while doing the certification, and the scheduling matches up, you could try your hand at it regardless.
By far the best resource on the net to find ESL work in Taiwan is the massive directory of English schools that's included in my eBook. I have listed more than 500 ESL schools where you can find TESOL / TEFL work. The directory lists schools all over Taiwan in places like Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Hualien, Taoyuan, Keelung, Hsinchu, and many more cities. Find more about the eBook here.

HSBC Holdings (HSBC) warned of the mounting costs of meeting tougher regulations, which are creating a perception of "zero tolerance of error."
In a statement, Chairman Douglas Flint said that greater focus on conduct and financial crime is the right answer for "past shortcomings."
"There is, however, an observable and growing danger of disproportionate risk aversion creeping into decision-making in our businesses as individuals, facing uncertainty as to what may be criticized with hindsight and perceiving a zero tolerance of error, seek to protect themselves and the firm from future censure," he added.
HSBC shares rose 1.5%.
Last year, the bank agreed to a $249 million settlement regarding U.S. foreclosure abuse, and in 2012 agreed to pay $1.92 billion to the U.S. following accusations the bank was involved in money laundering for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels. The bank had also been accused of transferring money for countries such as Iran and Cuba.
And regulators in the U.S. and Europe are subjecting top banks to "stress tests" to see how they would hold up during another economic downturn.
HSBC also reported results for the first half of the year. Earnings fell 7.4% to 50 cents a share vs. views for 55 cents, as the company reported a 12% drop in pre-tax profits to $12.3 billion.
Revenue fell 9% to $31.2 billion, due in part to divestments.
HSBC said that its performance during the period was "well-balanced" despite an environment of low interest rates and reduced financial market volumes. But earnings were hurt by added compliance resources and structural changes needed to meet new regulations amid "limited revenue growth opportunities."
Staffing needs are also boosting costs as HSBC raises salaries — to keep up with rival banks facing similar regulatory pressures — and invests in training to lift productivity.
"The demands now being placed on the human capital of the firm and on our operational and systems capabilities are unprecedented," Flint said. "The cumulative workload arising from a regulatory reform program that is unfortunately increasingly fragmented, often extra-territorial, still evolving and still adding definition is hugely consumptive of resources that would otherwise be customer facing."

Bullying and harassment
What is bullying?
Bullying is behaviour by an individual or group that happens repeatedly over an extended period of time that hurts another person either physically or emotionally.
Bullying is never a normal part of growing up, character building or something that only happens to children. Whatever form it takes, bullying is always wrong but it can happen to anyone, both within school and outside in the wider community at any time.
What effect does bullying have on children and young people?
The effects of bullying may differ between individuals, but it is clear that bullying can be enormously destructive and in many cases has a negative impact on a child or young person's development.
Bullying can have a damaging impact on self-esteem and confidence and can result in powerful and conflicting emotions. Bullied children and young people can often feel overwhelmed by feelings of fear and anger, whilst feeling powerless at the same time.
In any situation involving bullying, it is important to listen to children and young people and help them to find the support that they need.
If your child is being bullied, Bracknell Forest Anti-Bullying Group have produced a booklet called Anti Bullying Guide for Parents and Carers (PDF, 333kb) which contains advice and guidance.
Anti-bullying group
The Anti-Bullying Group (ABG) is a multi-agency forum which brings together representatives from all who are involved in dealing with bullying, whether working with victims or perpetrators.
The Anti-Bullying Group undertakes a varied programme of activities and initiatives to tackle and prevent bullying and raise awareness of the negative impacts of bullying. It also supports schools and other professionals with training and resources.
Activities of the Anti-Bullying Group include:
- peer mentoring scheme in secondary schools
- drama productions and workshops in schools
- competitions and events during national anti-bullying week
- information booklet for parents and carers
- training and guidance for young people on cyber-bullying
As well as working with local partners from the statutory and voluntary sector, the Anti-Bullying Group also works with leading national organisations such as the Anti-Bullying Alliance and Stonewall.
The Anti-Bullying Strategy (PDF, 1046kb) is an important tool to help us to ensure children and young people feel safe. By taking action together we can help to reduce bullying and ensure children and young people feel safe, are able to participate within their communities and achieve their full potential.

Beijing-based companies intend to invest $23 billion in Tianjin
This year more than 420 Beijing-based companies have already opened offices in neighboring Tianjin, promising to invest up to 160 billion Yuan as state news agency Xinhua informed on Friday.
The Chinese government has been campaigning for an integrated megacity of Tianjin, Beijing and Hebei province since 2014, in an attempt to ease pressure on its crowded capital by simply transferring industries further out into Hebel and Tianjin.
It called the area "Jing-Jin-Ji", utilizing shortened versions of the names of the cities as well as province.
Companies, which have promised to put down over 1 billion Yuan in Tianjin include China's home-grown ride-hailing application Didi Chuxing as well as financial service platform Gome Finance. That's what Xinhua told, citing the Tianjin Economic and also Technological Development Zone Management Committee.
That's not immediately clear how much investment has been carried out by those companies in Tianjin this year.

Well, it's not all relaxation.
Scheyer is making certain he gets all the information necessary before making a college decision – and that involved going to check out Lute Olson's Arizona program.
Arizona remains one of four finalists, along with Duke, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Scheyer and his parents have been in Arizona since Friday and will meet with the Wildcats staff, who suffered a heart-wrenching loss to the Illinois just two days ago, today.
It was really the only time that Scheyer could get to Arizona since he's currently in the midst of spring break and plans to go to the Final Four next weekend.
``I knew I had to come out here and give myself a fair chance," Scheyer said. "My goal is still to make a decision by the end of the spring and before the summer, by May or June. It's going to be really tough because I have a bunch of good choices."
Sources indicated that Duke was clearly the front-runner, but Illinois has apparently made up significant ground of late because of its recent success. Arizona's chances will be determined on Scheyer's current trip in Tucson.
``It was tough watching the game the other day because I really wanted Illinois to win, but I also wanted Arizona," Scheyer said. "I thought it was the championship game."
Now Scheyer will be behind the Illini, who he picked from Day One to claim the title.
``I told my parents before the season that they'll win the national championship," Scheyer said. "I just thought they'd be so tough. I didn't think they'd go undefeated for that long, but I had faith in them."
Now it comes down to whether Scheyer would prefer to rest his faith in Bruce Weber and become the first Mr. Basketball in the state of Illinois to remain home in a while or follow guys like Shannon Brown, Shaun Livingston and Julian Wright in leaving the state.

it's about school and all the things in school.
School is a learning tool
open to every one even the fool
some people like, some people hate
there is always one person who's late.
We get taught stuff like history and arts
some teachers are nice while some are old farts
there's always one naughty child at the back
why don't they give the teachers some slack.
School is meeting up with your friend
waiting for the bell to say, The end!

Once applicants are rejected from their top choice MBA program, they wonder if they have attained pariah status – if they were rejected once, they assume they'll be rejected again next time. Other applicants put a more positive spin on their rejection and reapplication, and assume that the mere fact they are trying again will give their application a boost – after all, doesn't reapplication demonstrate their seriousness and commitment?
The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes and really depends much less on your status as a reapplicant and much more on the schools you are applying to, the amount of growth and improvement you can show, and how you compare to the competition this time around. In other words there are few brownie points, if any, for a reapplicant, and at the same time, the overwhelming majority of schools will not hold a previous ding against you.
Understanding How You're Viewed
Reapplying has been the traditional fail-safe for the dinged business school applicant, but increasing competition is making even this last-gasp strategy tougher than ever.
Have business schools suddenly decided to judge repeat applicants more harshly? Probably not. The real explanation is likely that the recent volume of applications to business schools has simply created a glut of dinged applicants who, in increasing numbers, are deciding to give their MBA dreams one more shot.
The good news is that the vast majority of business schools probably still view reapplicants neutrally at worst and downright positively at best. A strong, well-considered, and effectively executed reapplication strategy can still win you that second chance. By following these three steps you can beat the growing competition for reapplication spots.
- STEP ONE: Reevaluate & Improve Your Candidacy
- STEP TWO: Understand Your Schools' Reapplication Procedures
- STEP THREE: Reapply!
STEP ONE: Reevaluate & Improve Your Candidacy
You may have a fair idea of why you were dinged, but many schools are happy to tell you outright (usually in the summer). In fact, The University of Texas helpfully sends its dinged applicants a letter breaking down areas for improvement into 16 laser-focused categories. Schools like Texas, London Business School, and INSEAD have been known occasionally to explicitly encourage rejected applicants to try again.
If you fall into this category, you may actually have been categorized as a "preliminary admit," only to fall victim to the statistician's axe late in the game because you failed some class-diversity criteria. If a school does encourage you, you can approach your "reapplication year" with some optimism and hopefully with a few specific tips to work on.
Other schools, like Harvard and Stanford, say they receive too many applications to provide individualized feedback. It will be up to you –with perhaps the help of Accepted – to identify where you went wrong.
If you decide that your Achilles' heel was only your GMAT score, then you know what to concentrate on, and assuming you raise it, you should be ready to reapply in the first round of the coming year. If, however, you learn, as most dinged applicants do, that their application needs work in multiple areas, then applying again within a year may not be realistic. This is especially true if, for example, your feedback tells you that you lack sufficient leadership experiences. It may be hard to accumulate enough in the, say, eight months between your dinged application and your reapplication.
Once you know where your first application was lacking, map out a concrete strategy to strengthen it. If your feedback told you that you applied too late in the admissions season, you won't have to "do" anything but make sure you apply in the first round. Likewise, improving a weak GMAT score and writing better essays involve fairly cut-and-dry strategies: prepare and practice more for your GMAT and spend more time on your essays, and consider using Accepted's essay editing services.
Most applicants won't have it this easy. They will be told they have low GMAT scores and poorly defined goals and few post-collegiate activities. They will not only have to multi-task; they'll have to run the risk that the 8-9 months they have before applying first round simply aren't enough time. Fortunately, all feedback is actionable to some extent. Make the most of the time you have.
To show deepened leadership, look for ways to demonstrate greater initiative or responsibility at work while also seeking out leadership roles in your community involvements. To compensate for a bad GPA, take competitive courses at a local school – and do well. To build an international profile, seek out overseas projects or take a three-month sabbatical in Estonia.
Perhaps unforeseen personal events have occurred – a death or illness in the family, helping a friend out of bad situation – that have matured you or clarified your goals. Your schools will be interested in all of these developments, specifically the actions you took, the impact you had, and the lessons you learned.
Be realistic: Reapplicants are first evaluated in terms of the school's hard admission criteria and second in terms of the new year's applicant pool (invariably stronger than the previous year's). Only if your application survives those two screens will they begin to ask how your new application compares to your old.
STEP TWO: Understand Your Schools' Reapplication Procedures
In addition to telling you whether you should reapply this year or wait until next year (or the next), your feedback can also tell whether you need to modify the list of schools you applied to. Feedback may indicate that you need to add a few "safety" schools, drop one or two "reaches," or even try again at the exact same programs. Once you develop your reapplication list, make sure you thoroughly understand their reapplication policies.
Schools' reapplication processes follow one of three basic approaches. Some, like Harvard and NYU Stern, require you to submit an entirely new application – they don't keep your previous year's application and so won't have anything to compare your new application to (you can use this fact to your benefit). Others, like Columbia, keep your previous application on file for one year and require you to submit a new essay explaining how you've strengthened your application. Finally, other programs require a reapplication essay, but allow you the option of submitting additional essays.
Whichever approach your schools use, remember that even if they do keep your first application on file they may not actually compare it directly to your new application. Wharton, for example, will review adcom member's comments or "write-ups" on the first application, not the application itself, unless a major question arises. By contrast, Chicago Booth looks more closely at the previous year's application, and MIT Sloan falls somewhere between the two. Knowing how much attention your schools give to your first application can help you decide how much explaining you'll have to do if you've changed your post-MBA goals.
Most schools strongly suggest that you reapply in the first round – MIT Sloan actually requires it. Similarly, Tuck offers an Early Decision Program that is partly designed as a way of benefiting reapplicants.
STEP THREE: Reapply!
Finally you're ready to begin the actual application process all over again. Fortunately, you've been through it all before so, older and wiser, you know how to pace yourself, what mistakes to avoid, and what new steps you may need to take. As early as the late spring or early summer after your first application (assuming you submitted before, say, January 15) you should have enough idea of your progress in your application improvement strategy to know where you stand.
You can now begin scoping out potential new recommenders; talking to friends, counselors, or an Accepted consultant about your revised goals and new school list; and rewriting your essays. Don't take the easy way out by assuming that you just need to tack a new paragraph onto your previous year's essays to "bring it up to date." Remember, those essays didn't get you in! When writing reapplication essays it's usually better to err on the side of new ideas and fresh approaches than to try recycling old material that you've probably lost faith in and, truth be told, are a little sick of looking at.
Start over, not with a new "update" paragraph but with new stories, new themes (if necessary) and a very pronounced slant toward the events in your life and career since you first applied. Remember, they will usually have your old essays within reach if they need to be filled in on your background.
Stress what's changed and how you've grown as a person and a professional. Just as important, emphasize how your desire to enroll at their program has undergone its own impressive transformation: you've talked to more alumni and students, visited again, discovered more resources and clubs, fleshed out the link between your goals and their program, etc.
The fact that you're reapplying tells them of your continuing interest; show that that interest has become a real driving passion with a brand-new "Why Your B-School" section. Good luck!
If you would like help reevaluating your candidacy and planning your reapplication strategy Accepted can help. Our experienced consulting staff is here to guide you from the moment you receive the "ding" letter to the day the "fat envelope" arrives.
