News, advice and resources for business school applicants

BoB Ballots Available

As promised last week when we announced the nominees for this year’s Best of Blogging awards, ballots are now available for the contenders to weigh in with their top picks. Voters will select their three overall favorite blogs in both the student and applicant lists (this will be used to compile the top ten ranking), as well as the funniest blog and the best single post in each group. In addition, we’ll ask voters to identify the blogs that they feel offer the best GMAT advice, the best school selection advice, the best essay advice and best interview preparation advice among the applicant nominees, as well as which student blogs offer the best advice for applicants, the best job/internship advice, the best representation of student life and the most accurate picture of academics at their schools.

While we’ve distributed ballots to the nominated bloggers with contact info in their blogs, we’d like to encourage those nominated bloggers who have not received ballots to contact us at bestofblogging@clearadmit.com and request their ballots if they haven’t already done so. In addition to identifying valuable sources of information for the next generation of MBA applicants and students, they’ll also be doing their peers a favor; as we mentioned when we first published the timeline for the awards, we’re throwing some prizes into the mix this year. The second and third place bloggers in the student-blogger top 10 and applicant-blogger top 10 rankings will receive a one year subscription to Business Week or The Economist (their choice), and the two top-ranked bloggers (one student, one applicant) will be given the option of an iPod Nano or a $250 Amazon.com gift certificate.

Stay tuned for more information about the process and this year’s celebrity judges!
