Fridays From the Frontlines

Hello and welcome to another chapter in Clear Admit’s on-going Fridays From the Frontlines series. Our look into the times, tastes and tribulations of b-schoolers continues this week with continued excitement and disappointment as many second years wrap up their recruiting season and aspirants get closer and closer to interview dates and begin to consider round two applications.

In positive news, fishee chimed in to share the news of his recent interview invitation from Wharton. Ahembeea vented his own Wharton interview frustrations with a letter and shared his Ross interview experience. Samantha was also feeling a little bummed about Wharton and wished that b-schools were more like law school. D.G. had a mixed week, the lack of an interview invitation from HBS being somewhat softened by the invitation to interview at Wharton, but not so much so that he didn’t start thinking about round two schools. Theincarnated also felt the sting of not hearing from HBS and began to doubt his ‘the best or nothing’ approach. The Coronet had a little more luck, with interviews at Ross and Cornell. TienyChesney is one of the lucky few with all of that behind him, but with a whole slew of new considerations on which to get a grip.

Thos already in school are getting used to the shorter days but don’t lack school spirit. Darden ’10 JulyDream, for example,  shared a very upbeat Darden video. McCombs ’10 Metal, came back to life and had a lot to say about the beginning of his b-school experience.  Darden ’10 Oren also discussed the concept of black November. Second years could feel each day pass, McDonough ’09 Hairtwirler found herself 5/8th of the way done with her MBA and with a surprising interest in marketing. Ross ’09  gltnfrpnshmt shared a few thoughts on the election and the recruiting system. Chicago ’09 MaybeMBA was also considering her future moves.

And this concludes this rendition of the news for Fridays From the Frontline. The days, at least in some parts of the world, are getting darker and colder but that can’t stop the brave hopefuls from keeping their eyes, ears and hearts on the prize. Until next week, good luck and keep on keepin’ on!
