Welcome back to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s round-up of recent happenings in the MBA blogosphere! It’s been an exciting week out there for MBA bloggers: we see everything from good news to bad, true love to hard drive disasters. Let’s take a closer look!
Applicants’ emotions are running high as more and more of them are hearing back from schools. There are many congratulations to go around this week: Chicago admitted Iday, HairTwirler was accepted at Cambridge, and AGirlsMBA received good news from Fuqua, Ross and Stern! Equally impressive was Bschool Diva’s resolution to get herself off McCombs’ waitlist and into the Class of 2009, and we wish her the best of luck. Finally, RusGirl was pleased to find out she’s been assigned fellow blogger Genie as her LBS mentor for next year.
Applicants who are still waiting for results and need something to do in the meantime might check out TJ’s impressive to-do list for suggestions. Meanwhile, Stress Tensor is focusing on the other March Madness, and Reveur is contemplating the meaning of success and leadership. There was also plenty of talk about Georgetown’s erroneous waitlist email last week; MBA Salsera and Patxi both weighed in on it (as did we).
Student bloggers are having a productive spring, too, it seems. Zanat0s, blogging from INSEAD, celebrated his ten thousandth reader this week, while UCLADawg helped out at Anderson’s Admitted Students Weekend. The Divine Miss N checks in with some comments on the classes she’s enjoying this term at LBS. At IESE, Jacek is keeping very busy with academics, despite serious computer problems, while Ashwyn blogged about the busy social scene there. Applicants who are getting ready to make final school decisions might want to check in with Ed Starr, who is living it up in London, and Nate, who offers a cautionary note about the burrito situation in Ann Arbor.
Last but not least, a big “congrats” goes to MBA Cutie on her engagement! With warmer weather just around the corner, maybe love is in the air – not to mention internship offers and acceptance notices! Have a great weekend everyone, and we’ll see you back here next week for another Fridays From the Frontline.
