Welcome to another addition of FFF, your weekly update on the happenings in the MBA blogosphere.
The applicant bloggers are in all stages of the application process. RusGirl reports on a Chicago GSB reception with current students in Moscow, while Reveur gushes about the HBS information session. Juggler writes to celebrate finishing essays for five schools within her self-imposed deadline, and shares tips for tackling Stanford’s “long, long” essay and Wharton’s “supershrinked” essays. GuyMBA checks up on problems with Columbia’s online recommendation system, and worries about finding the GMAT test center in downtown NYC. Dharu shares the take-away lessons from his Columbia application, and ScareCrow reports that with resumes, transcripts, and application forms complete, all that’s left is to upload essays, pay money, and click submit! For those applicants still pondering which schools to choose, or looking for answers to a few final questions, The Divine Miss N shares some great tips for getting the most out of an MBA fair, learned through her experiences representing LBS.
Classes are off to a fast start for first-year MBA students! Brownoski reports that Yale’s courses have accelerated to a “ludicrous” speed in the last week, while Marina writes a quick post to report on mid-terms at Columbia (already!) and her election as the social chair of her cluster. RupinThomas checks in from the first week at Chicago and reports on experiences in the LEAD course, while WillIMakeIt says farewell to blogging in order to focus on the work ahead at the GSB. Karlitos talks about Leadership and Teamwork courses at LBS, UCLADawg has started meeting classmates at UCLA-Anderson and reports on his “Strength Deployment Inventory” results, while AngelAngie takes some time to ponder dream jobs at LBS. The first-year bloggers at INSEAD have been particularly busy this week. Hallonman writes of his surprise at Myers-Brigg results that say he’s an extrovert, while DomoDomo makes up for lost time with a series of posts detailing the first weeks of classes, including meeting INSEAD classmates, wrapping up the first week of classes at INSEAD, and coming to realize that it may be time to skip a party! Finally, JDMBAPrincess contributes some choice quotes from first-year classes at IU-Kelley.
Our second-year MBA bloggers are starting to settle back into the school year, and many are focused on the start of the recruiting season. CyberSam discusses the recruiting process at MIT-Sloan, while J$ writes a series of posts from Haas on his recent second-round interview and job offer. Le Voyageur had to sit out the start of Chicago’s 2nd year, after coming down with a nasty bug, but Mandar is off to a busy start, updating us on new grading policies at Chicago and summarizing the first-year classes on a 1-10 scale. KV started classes at LBS a few lectures late, after wrapping up a two-week vacation in Ireland and Egypt, and hopes his professor won’t be too angry with him for missing two more lectures this Friday. The New York City exchange student contingency has had a busy week. George reports on his initial impressions of Columbia, RSR.PT considers the New York and London club scenes and gushes over Columbia’s Strategic Management of Media course, while The Divine Miss N celebrated her birthday in style and gives thanks for finding a great subject for LBS’s shadowing project.
That’s all for this edition! Have a great weekend!
