Another week – and what a week, with deadlines for Wharton, Harvard, Columbia, Tuck and others – has passed, and here we are at Friday, ready, as always, with a new edition of FFF for those looking to catch up on the goings on in the world of MBA blogging.
First, we want to extend our congratulations to those bloggers who pressed “submit” this week! Righty finished up with his ISB application materials and Flexible Image‘s materials are in at HBS. In light of yesterday’s data form advice, we were glad to read that Scarecrow carefully proofread his Harvard application found relief upon completing Wharton. It’s better to wait than to rush, though, a principle that RusGirl – now a Round 2 applicant – understands. She’ll be joined by B-school Diva, who’s just announced her return from reapp retirement and intent to apply to a handful of schools this winter. In other applicant news, Dharu is still narrowing down his school selection, and recounts his Haas visit and reflects on the merits of experiencing a school firsthand. Also in application advice, LBS student Karlitos took some time to reflect on what he was going through this time last year and shares some words of wisdom for applicants.
Just as applicants have been busy working toward pressing that “sumbit” button, business school students have occupied with a number of issues, but seem to be enjoying themselves on the whole. Kilgore Trout is glad for the opportunity to think about his ideal career due to an Econ prof’s unique approach at McCombs, while Le MBA has made definite plans to pursue his actual dream job after HEC and j$ has decided to accept his full time offer and enjoy his second year at Haas. Over in Palo Alto, Ash offers a comprehensive rundown of pre-term at Stanford and, to really give you the full circle picture, alumnus Marquis shares his experience returning to campus for McKinsey recruiting. On the academic side, Martha runs readers through a week of classes at LBS, while MJ is sweating statistics at Duke and BeenThereDoneThat is worried about broader performance issues and the NUS bell curve. LL updates the blogosphere on Wharton Cohort H‘s week, much of which was spent studying, and bskewl weighs in on the demise of GND and suggests that the first-year students might be too focused on their studies, citing as evidence Wharton’s being shown up by INSEAD students in a recent interactive game.
If the INSEAD bloggers are representative of the school at large, then there does seem to be a good deal going on in the social department. DomoDomo shares some party pictures and describes his classmates’ networking skills, while Hallonman highlights the international element, relating some popular weekend destinations and getting excited about Aussie-Kiwi Week. IESE students are also out and about, as Noelle shares some photos from a recent trip to the Pyrenees. Finally, lone representative of American leisure brownoski has been enjoying the fall weather and Yale’s golf course.
That’s all for this week. We hope that our superstitious readers make it through Friday the 13th unscathed, and that everyone has a wonderful weekend!
