Welcome to this week’s installation of Friday’s From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s recap of the latest breaking news in the MBA blogosphere. Winter weather didn’t manage to freeze up applicant or current student activity this week; in fact, there were a number of exciting developments! Let’s get a closer look at those hard at work, and those with good reason to be partying hard…
RunningTurtle lived up to his name this week, sprinting to finish McCombs, with Kelley and Rice the next stops in his application relay. Gltnforpnshmnt was also in the dog days of application writing – literally! On the flipside, Miss Curly Bee reveled in a much needed break, soaking up all the prime time drama she’s been missing and brushing up on her GAT (not to be confused with GMAT!) acumen. She also sent fortuitous well wishes to B-School Bound, who shortly after reeled in an HBS admit! Furniture fears and case method qualms aside, he may have a hard time passing this ticket up… Good news also greeted Tamasin, for whom a Columbia interview invite finally rolled in, not to mention a Ross admit.
In the thick of recruiting at Wharton this week, first-year Asiangal looked to the Rolling Stones for comfort: You can’t always get the internship you want… but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get one you need! Oh yeah! This struck a chord with Ross’s M@, although it’s debatable how much he really wanted what he didn’t get… Extending a warm welcome to all those who did get what they want, AGirl’sMBA congratulated those soon to be joining her at HBS.
Back from a well-deserved break, Hairtwirler recently re-launched her life at Georgetown – running for SGA President, kicking off her internship search and spending some quality time with the bf, of course. Oh, and let’s not forget her wild Karaoke plans for this Friday. And oh… second semester classes! Necromonger’s focus also resided just left of the classroom; he chimed in with some helpful tips for keeping your digital life lean and mean (there’s no spam is his laptop’s diet!).
As for the second-years, Stern’s RubeoBoy checked in from HongKong, recounting a warm holiday with family and friends back home, while Le blog hog celebrated a new beginning on INSEAD’s Singapore campus, prepared to head out on an independent path, not to mention a few weekend treks. And last but not least, over in London, Fran recollected a goosebump-inducing brand management course at LBS, lamenting how fast it flew by.
That’s the news from Fridays From the Frontline! Come back and see us next time for the latest and greatest news in the MBA blogosphere…
