In a continuation of last Friday’s blog entry, we continue with news from around the MBA applicant/MBA student blogosphere:
For anyone looking for a little inspiration as they struggle through preparation for the GMAT, you need look no further than here. A blogger by the name of ‘Beat the GMAT‘ offers a blow-by-blow, day-by-day summary of his attack on everyone’s favorite standardized test. The blogger in question also seems to have a good sense of humor about the whole process.
Mave, another MBA applicant, offers a thorough description of a recent visit to the LBS campus. Despite not being able to attend a class during the visit, Mave managed to book some time with a current LBS student (by emailing the admissions committee in advance). While the entry clearly highlights the importance of visiting schools, this sort of blogging can really be of use to our readers who will not be able to make it to London for a visit.
While our first two bloggers are contemplating the GMAT and investigating schools, this next entry from SgHama covers the important subject of developing a schedule and planning application rounds. We covered this topic in an earlier admissions tip, but it is always good to see how an individual makes decisions and plots a course.
Shifting gears towards the incoming MBA student community, Jewellsnake, a Bay-area resident headed for NYU/Stern, offers some details about the packing process and her pending relocation from California to the Big Apple. In a similar vein, Brit-chick overs an account of her transatlantic voyage from the UK to Philadelphia, USA for pre-term at Wharton.
And finally, Beau, a current MBA student at Darden/UVA ponders his upcoming exchange with the business school at HKUST (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology).
