Fridays From The Frontline

Hi there and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s regular roll around the rollicking and rousing MBA blogosphere. With the holidays coming up and exams simmering down, this was a rather quiet week on the blogging front, with applicants having the most to say.

XLick met up with Stern and Johnson current students and alumni in the East Village and appreciated the opportunity to hear their perspectives on the MBA application process. Steve recapped his trip to Ithaca and interview at Cornell, complete with a narrow escape from the epic snowstorm of last weekend. Bizwiz completed seven of his ten GMAT prep books. Illuminati compared business school ranking systems. Madalogue received an acceptance from Tepper and prepared for her Darden interview with the Clear Admit Darden Interview Guide. Ardent Meerkat retook the GMAT but didn’t improve her quant score as much as she had hoped. Hari read books to take his mind off the wait for news from b-schools. Foo Blogger, having already received a zap from Kellogg didn’t hear anything happy from MIT. Rocky flew into Bangalore for fun and a Babson interview.

Kellogg ’11 Windsor led a trek to the bay area and recounted its overall success. Kellogg ’11 Orlando recapped his experience with the Neighborhood Business Initiative. Haas ’11 Sunny Side Up wished all her readers a merry Christmas.

Darden ’10 July Dream was in India and packing a whole heck of a lot each day. McCombs ’10 Metal was headed home to India as well, and hoped the food smelled as good as always. Ross ’10 M@ compiled the best of his 2009 experiences, including getting fat in South Dakota. McCombs ’10 Paragon2Pieces reviewed her Corporations class. Darden ’10 Mechanigal reflected on the great group of independent women she knew at the school. INSEAD ’10 Out Of My Jeans prepared for his departure to France with quite the to do list.

That concludes this week’s Fridays From The Frontline. As first round zaps roll in and second round deadlines loom, it certainly is a fraught time for current applicants but we hope that, for those who celebrate it, their Christmas holidays allow them a little respite from the stress. Until next week, happy holidays!
