Welcome to our first edition of Twitter Thursdays, a weekly column in which we’ll be highlighting the latest updates from the top MBA programs on Twitter! For those of our readers well-versed in Clear Admit’s popular Fridays from the Frontline colum, think of Twitter Thursdays as just another way to put your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the MBA admissions world – this time with a focus on words from the schools themselves. Also, if you’re not following us already, be sure to check out Clear Admit on Twitter for updates, special contests, prizes, admissions tips and breaking news.
The Haas School posted the application for their Evening & Weekend MBA program online this week and announced that time is short to become a Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum Member. Rose Martinelli, Chicago Booth’s Associate Dean of Admissions, has been busy welcoming new students and shared where you can find Booth “on the road.” Amidst adjusting to the curriculum, second-year MBA students at the Johnson School enjoyed an informal dinner and conversation at the home of Dean Joe Thomas.
The Tuck School of Business welcomed first-years to campus this week as well as launched a new center for leadership. Meanwhile, the Kellogg School of Management offered a steady stream of insight and research, as conducted by their notable professors. The Wharton School turned visual in its offer of photos from the annual Wharton Graduate Association Club Expo. Things are turning around quickly at London Business School, which shared a video of the Class of 2009’s graduation and also announced applications are now open for the full-time 2010 MBA program.
While these are just highlights of what the leading MBA programs have been “tweeting” over the past week, we certainly encourage our readers to get their b-school news fix round the clock by finding out who to follow through our Twitter Index. The MBA Admissions Twitter Index is hosted within the Clear Admit Wiki (a free resource which many applicants have come to depend on for first-hand accounts of MBA interviews, and general admissions-related updates). For the top MBA programs, check out this list of admissions officers and schools’ news feeds. We’ve also compiled lists of current MBA students and alumni as well as current MBA applicants who are on Twitter.
If you’re on Twitter, let us know! E-mail wiki@clearadmit.com with your user name and status as an MBA applicant, student or admissions officer so we can add you to the appropriate Twitter Index. Thanks for tuning in and happy “tweeting!”
See you all next week with another edition of Twitter Thursdays!
