Welcome to our weekly summary of the new and noteworthy posts from the MBA blogosphere. As to be expected at this time of year, applicant bloggers have been ramping up their application efforts in the past week, while new and returning student bloggers are finishing up their summers and settling in at school. Let’s take a closer look….
On the MBA applicant front, congratulations go out to Achilles, who rocked the GMAT on Tuesday, and to BlueTulip for earning herself an INSEAD interview! Agent-C was confident and optimistic, having straightened out a glitch in his GMAT scores just before deploying to the Middle East for six months. Meanwhile, mbabound08 shared some candid thoughts about an HBS information session she attended, while Bschool Diva revisited her list of target schools.
As for first year student bloggers, there were plenty of exciting new beginnings this week. RusGirl has been maxing out on her blogger connections, having moved into Angel Angie’s old flat and joining a study group of no less than three other LBS bloggers. Taking a brief respite after a busy week at Georgetown, Hairtwirler spent Sunday gearing up for the week of classes ahead, a little disappointed to find herself the only woman in her study group. Writing from Singapore, Necromonger sounded pleased with his new digs and impressed by his new flatmates, and he was also appreciative of INSEAD’s efficiency with the process.
Sounding slightly dazed and confused, m@ finished up the Ross Leadership Initiative, and in Fontainebleau Dee was nervous about networking at INSEAD. Meanwhile, ipoel was still at home in Indonesia, but was emotionally preparing herself to take off for Anderson soon. MaybeMBA took some time away from her baby and her packing boxes to consider Chicago’s curriculum options.
Second year student bloggers sounded much more relaxed than their first year counterparts last week. Rubeo Boy partied hard in Spain before returning to New York for another year at Stern. There was good news for MJ, who finished his consulting internship and accepted a job offer before returning to Fuqua. Patxi sounded very happy as he returned to LBS after a great vacation in Europe, while Benny had warm feelings for Hanover when he returned for another year at Tuck. On a similarly affectionate note, jacek shared a fond memory of his introduction to the Economist and Zanat0s let his readers know about MBA Insider, a valuable resource from Business Week.
That just about wraps it up for this week’s Fridays from the Frontline. Thanks for checking in, keep up the great posts, and best wishes for a happy Labor Day weekend!
