For those of you who are currently applying to b-school, MBA applicant blogs likely seem ubiquitous. In fact, once can hardly imagine going through the MBA admissions process in 2005 without the help of the b-school blogging community.
What’s interesting about all of this is the fact that MBA applicant blogs are still a relatively new phenomenon. In fact, the first known MBA admissions blog can be traced back to the summer of 2002, when an applicant using the pseudonym “Tad Holbie” began keeping a log of his journey through the process. That blog, which can be found here, is still a wonderful resource for new applicants.
In addition, now that Tad Holbie will be graduating as a member of the Michigan class of 2005, he’s created an epilogue in which he talks about his life as a student, his future plans, and his overall take on the admissions experience. Given Tad’s status as the first real MBA blogger, this epilogue is a must read:

In other MBA-blog related news, the League of MBA Bloggers has revamped its site for better organization and more up-to-date information on active blogs, etc. It also looks like the Hella blog content aggregator has unveiled a new look! See the links below:
