Get back on track

Hi. I have been a long time lurker. I have decided to take the following actions to get back on track. But, before then, a little info about myself:

I graduated from a top tier public engineering school. I didn't do engineering, but got a BS in Management with certificates in accounting, finance, and marketing. At my final year, I decided to go into finance. I had little clue what BO/MO/FO and IBD entailed. I got several jobs offers, including a 2yr analyst program at a boutique IBD, but chose to go with a bb BO rotatoinal program. I know what you are thinking, and trust me I thought about that choice more than you can ever imagine. (only if I did some more research or found this site during school...) but that's life and I can take it now.

It has been around 4.5 years since I first started working. That decision still haunts me and I need to get back on track.

My plan is to: move back to my hometown (in progress) take the gmat (april 2012) get into a top tier MBA program (apply fall of 2012) get into a bb IBD as an associate (internship 2013/ full 2014)

I just wanted to say hi, and document my process here, so you can see me succeed.
It time to grow some balls again...
