Welcome back to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s regular recap of life on the MBA dime (or paying it!). This week boasted an array of active applicants and spirited students. Let’s hear what’s been going on with each of them…
Between flowers and chocolates, DVD box sets and concert tickets, it sure felt good to be one of B-School Bound’s recommenders this week, even if their recommendations didn’t ultimately bind him to b-school! Next door in the material world, Vidiviciveni found himself finally hooked by London Business School’s swanky admit package – just the nudge this ambivalent blogger needed to bite the (most likely silver) bullet and matriculate. Eight Schools was also ready to narrow it down to one school – Tuck – but can’t quite seal the deal until she’s comfortable that her housing in Hanover housing will be, well, comfortable.
Having already sealed the deal with Ross, Gltnforpnshmnt compiled a hefty list of how he plans to gainfully occupy every day of his pre-MBA summer, from unwinding to updating his network. In the same vein, Miss Curly Bee lent a hand to soon-to-be matriculating students who aren’t sure how to proceed through the mass of forms and informing they’ll need to do in the coming months.
In the first-year arena, M@ watched Ross’ second-years get ready to graduate and came to the surreal realization, admist the flowering backdrop of Ann Arbor, that he’d soon be filling their shoes. In balmy D.C., Georgetown’s finals drove usually level headed HairTwirler up the wall, while her crazed neighbor waited outside her door – either that or played songs on repeat next to it! That’s city living for you, she acquiesced. Anand was ready to chime in on that front. Contemplating the pros and cons of attending business school in a smaller town versus a big city, he decided that Darden’s Charlottesville bucks the system and offers the best parts of both. Also feeling school-spirited, Maybe MBA dispelled some myths about Chicago’s GSB, while Stuart was busy snagging incriminating footage of St. Gallen-MBA-Academic-Director–turned-White-Stripe Winfried Ruigrok.
Second-year Mbagladiator also had a brush with fame, catching an erstwhile idol of his who came to speak at the Conference of Governors on Climate Change at Yale. Angie continued her tenure as London Business School’s poster child, giving the lowdown on her “final LBS showdown,” also known as her last term there. Feeling her pain, John celebrated the conclusion of a storied CBS career, having saved the best for last – his Economics of Strategic Behavior class.
Thanks for stopping by our Friday event! Check FFF next week for all the MBA news that came and went…
