IE: Inland Entrepreneur

"Dear MR. TANG,

Thank you for the interest you have shown in Instituto de Empresa and for participating in the admissions process for the programme..." I was thrilled when I saw this first line through email preview and was expecting the heart-broken "However". Fortunately, it didn't come out.

Got my tickets home for CNY:-)

At MIT-Sloan, where the Round One deadline is Jan. 10, the admissions office will accept applications from those residing in areas in Asia that experienced Internet service disruptions due to the earthquake till 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 26. A spokeswoman said the school is currently in the process of getting this message out through multiple platforms to applicants in affected areas. ....

Everything is slowing down...
