Imagine, you’ve worked extremely hard! You managed to do everything right to get through the crowd. Perhaps you’ve done only right things in life because slight blip and the checks and balances that exist in the system would have just thrown you out of the race before you would have even entertained thoughts of making it to a B-school of your choice.
