Fridays From The Frontline

Hello! Welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s ongoing series of posts focused on exploring the b-school blogosphere.  As exams wrap up and graduations take place, students have begun their summer internships or re-entered the workforce after two years of academia. While we may be saying goodbye to some familiar bloggers in the next few months, new applicant voices will soon emerge to fill the gap.

One new voice, 2012 MBA Guy noted that many schools have commenced with posting their application deadlines and essay questions, and outlined his application checklist for the next few weeks. Another newbie to FFF, Hari, shared how he studies for the GMAT on a budget. While aspirants start thinking about their essay topics and application strategy, members of the class of 2011 continue to prepare themselves for their transition to b-school. Kellogg ’11 The.Grey.One struggled to choose the destination for his KWEST trip and crossed his fingers about getting on-campus housing. Fellow Kellogg classmate Samantha also found the KWEST sign up process challenging. Kellogg ’11 D.G. wanted to go to South America for his KWEST trip and hadn’t figured out where he was going to live once in Evanston. 

For some, the b-school path continued to be uncertain. Bizwiz, waitlisted at Chicago Booth, struggled to define what was appropriate communication with the adcom and what was overkill. Ahembeea‘s visa was approved on the same day that he learned that Kellogg was not going to take him off their waitlist.  IIMC ’10 MyNameisNeo posted a lengthy entry about the different stages of MBA life. Stanford ’11 PaloAltoForAwhile provided her tips and perspective on Stanford’s ‘Essay A’. Kellogg ’11 Orlando summarized his first and second interviews for a BCG scholarship. Fuqua ’11 ChocHeaven found herself with more time on her hands and looked back fondly to the era before cell phones and Google. Lauren implored readers to vote on her next dessert masterpiece.

First year MBA students were taking big breaths as their school year came to a close. Harvard ’10 Gabrielle reflected on her first year and shared some of the highlights while her fellow classmate Rob discussed some of the things he missed out on over the course of the year. Darden ’10 JulyDream was already in Atlanta and three days into her internshipMcCombs ’10 Paragon2Pieces was glad the semester was over and that she was three quarters done with her combined MBA/JD studies. Melbourne ’10 RonJon considered the differences between the public and private sectors. Kellogg ’10 La Coguette got schooled.

Second years or,  in many cases, recent graduates, were a generally quiet bunch.  Darden ’09 Mandy and Anand did, however, post graduation photographs on their respective blogs.

More caps and gowns will be donned before this month comes to a close and we wish all class of 2009 graduates the best of luck as they rejoin the workforce and go off to fulfill their career goals. For those of you just beginning the process, make sure to check out the many resources located within the Clear Admit blog, and let us know if you’re blogging. As always, thanks for reading and tune in next week for another edition of Fridays From The Frontline.
