Fridays From the Frontline

Welcome back to Fridays From the Frontline, our weekly tour of the MBA blogosphere. With Round 1 deadlines just around the corner, applicant bloggers were a little on edge this week, while first- and second-years found themselves right in the middle of the party! Let’s take a closer look…

Miles ahead of the masses of last minute scramblers in the admissions process, Wannabe is already contemplating the likelihood of an interview invite from Columbia, although after careful calculation, resolves it’s safe not to hit the “big red panic button” for another 15-25 days. B-School Bound, on the other hand, offers some hope (while adding a little pressure) for those still pouring their hearts out onto the page – the takeaway message: Essays are everything! This certainly seems to resonate with Mbabound08, who notes she unfortunately just finished her Wharton setback essay – unfortunately because she’s just suffered one of the most frustrating setbacks ever – an irritated Iliotibial Band that has seriously cut into her running-relaxation time, crucial given the stress induced by essays such as, oh, Wharton Essay #2… Obelix 2010 also went through a painful setback this past week, although this one may be the kind for which more “exercise” is the best cure.

After attending a Stanford women’s event, Geetu wonders how the women at this school have any energy left to save the world – after dressing and primping and straightening their hair… Meanwhile, Tamasin proves she’s not just another typical prospective student obsessed with the rankings – at least not the individual rankings.

If only these hard stressing applicants knew what was in store for them at b-school, though! For instance, whoever said that an HBS MBA is all work and no play must not know CS, who’s headed to Vegas with the HBS Hospitality Club. Or take Stuart, who’s been tapping into his artistic side in the University of St. Gallen Creative Challenge thanks to free paints and brushes, courtesy of the administration. Over in Philadelphia, Juggler finds herself perplexed – now that she’s surmounted the grueling application process and attends the school of her dreams, what’s there to blog about at Wharton? She vows to find something worthy. Fellow former-applicant blogger Forrest was at no loss for words, however, reporting on Chicago’s industry immersion presentations, a dynamic first day of econ class and the Thursday night festivities that followed. HairTwirler also had some highlights to share: she was elected Representative of her Cohort at Georgetown, not to mention learning all about what not to mix into a drink…

Speaking of which, on the second-year front, La Lauderia found the time to exercise her discerning palette at the Wharton Wine Club’s Tasting Event. Up in New York at Stern, Rubeo Boy emerged from a moment of clarity with a major decision about his short-term career goals: “Goodbye to the big dollars and the certainty” – although he leaves us uncertain as to what he’s certain about giving up on being certain for… . Angel Angie also seems to have identified a potential post-LBS calling: Working at a hedge fund – at least it’s held her attention for three weeks… Finally, Perpetualmotion keeps moving as usual, enjoying a good old fashioned bus ride from Wharton into the suburbs for a meeting, which gets his gears turning about other such Spartan pleasures of running one’s own startup.

That’s all for this week, folks! Come see use next time for the latest edition of FFF.  Have a wonderful weekend!
