As promised in the timeline for this year’s BoBs that we outlined a few weeks back, we are pleased to announce this year’s Best of Blogging nominees! For those just tuning in to the Clear Admit blog, the two-fold aim of this annual event is to recognize the best blogs covering the 2007-08 admissions cycle/academic year, and to identify valuable sources of information for the next round of MBA applicants and students.
We began by considering all FFF-featured blogs and those listed in the Clear Admit Wiki. Looking at originality and relevance of content, as well as total number of posts and overall contribution to the space, we then narrowed the count down to 25 applicants and 25 students. Whether newcomers or veteran bloggers, admissions rock stars or reflective reapplicants, straightlaced students or party animals, all have shared something unique about themselves and taught us a thing or two about some part of the MBA experience. And so, without further ado, the nominated bloggers:

Congrats to our nominees! The next step is for the nominated bloggers to cast their votes on the overall ranking and a few more focused categories. Ballots will be available early next week, and will be due on Friday, April 25th. We’ll be emailing ballots those nominees who list their contact information on their blogs; those who don’t are encouraged to get in touch by sending a note to bob@clearadmit.com.
For more details on the BoBs (prizes, rules, etc), you can read our original post. Also, check back a bit later today for Fridays from the Frontline, your regularly scheduled look at this week in MBA blogging.
