with finance electives. It's all about your love for a subject and your
attitude!!!

highly qualified.

the school of your choice or did you compromise and opted for the best option
that was open/available for you?
A. I got the best from the choices I had. Not getting into the IIMs -
well, that's a compromise most have to make!!!
