Yesterday I was accepted into the Marriott School of Management business program at BYU. Let me tell you that it was a joy and such a relief to be accepted into this college.
This is a very significant and important accomplishment in my life not because of the prestige of the program, but because it will allow me to pursue what I really want to do. The months and weeks leading up to this were very stressful, because if I did not get into this school, it would have been a year wasted away and I would need to spend more time thinking of a good plan B.
I can not help but wonder, however, as to why such a rigorous selection process is necessary for the Marriott School. I understand that it is a top program and prestigious around the nation, but does limiting who comes into the program make it that way? Wouldn't it rely more on the people coming out? How many of the people who were not accepted could have turned out to have really great business careers? They could obviously transfer to other universities if that is really their dream, but most BYU students do not want to leave.
I can understand BYU turning away prospective students, there just is not enough room for everybody to come in. I would think that the very fact that students get into BYU would be enough of a sign that people would be able to succeed in the business school.
This may just be my biased perspective, since I was probably pretty close to being one of those students turned away, but I can still realize how some people feel negative about this.
I love BYU and I am grateful to be in the Marriott School of Management. I just wish it could have been easier.
When it comes to spending quality time with your family, you must chose a place free from all the hustle-bustle of your daily life. What better than to opt for some classy leisure hotels in India, one can surely count upon Jaypee group hotels! They are luxurious and accommodating.
