On Wednesday, May 18th, this blog will publish our 2004-2005 “Best of Blogging” ranking – an assessment of the blogs authored by MBA applicants who documented the 2004-2005 admissions process. In compiling this ranking, we have the twofold aim of recognizing the cream of this year’s crop and identifying valuable sources of information for the next wave of applicants.
Narrowing the Field
Although we identified nearly 70 blogs that could have been eligible for our rankings process, the entries we’ve opted to consider each met requirements for the relevance and frequency of posts, as well as overall quality of posting and contribution to the space (see the listing of eligible blogs below). We’ll be compiling a ranking of the top ten blogs in the coming week, as well as singling out the very best in a few narrower categories.
Listing of the nominated blogs:
