Fridays From The Frontline

Hi there, and welcome to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s weekly blog post focused on the events of the MBA blogosphere. This week MBA hopefuls were sharing their good and bad news, from interview invites to admittances. Current students were deep in their current semester and enjoying a number of personal and professional development opportunities.

Dream Chaser enjoyed his day at Kellogg, happily announced his interview invite from Harvard, and managed to stay humble.  While Rocky was disappointed with LBS’ general feedback to zapped candidates, he was happy to receive an interview invite from Anderson. Hari looked back on each stage of his MBA application process and thanked Clear Admit for providing helpful resources throughout. As a waitlisted round one applicant, MBA Hopeful took advantage of Haas’ opportunity to enhance his candidacy by visiting the school and being interviewed. Madalogue created an RSS feed for all Haas-related news that might be of use to other interested applicants. AJ continued to wait for application news, and considered taking the GMAT again. Nistha shared some of the details of his off-campus Kellogg interview. XLick prepared for his upcoming Cornell interview, and credited Clear Admit’s Wiki for helping him in this regard. A Beautiful Mind took a look at Clear Admit’s Consulting Career Guide, and received a wait-list notification from Cornell. Steve also received waitlist news from Cornell, and wasn’t looking forward to all the waiting.

Haas ’11 Sunnyside Up posted a link to the Haas Tech Club blog.  Stanford ’11 Palo Alto For Awhile, inspired by the school’s recent tuition-hike announcement, talked about money, and how MBA students spend it. Harvard ’11 Military to Business immersed himself in the search for a summer job, and reflected on how none would replicate the experience of leading others in combat. Ross ’11 Raghunathrao shared his MAP placement with his readers. BU ’11 Felish couldn’t understand how people found the time to date during b-school, and received her first internship invite. Kellogg ’11 Windsor attended the Kellogg Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference and had a lot to say about it.

Darden ’10 Oren expected great things from a panel discussion during the school’s Women Leadership Week, but was disappointed. Fuqua ’10 Randy was surprised to find that India had a wine country. Darden ’10 Mechanigal enjoyed an evening of music, care of Joshua Bell and Jeremy Denk. McCombs ’10 Metal also had music on his mind. Darden ’10 July Dream went to Paris, saw her family, ate great food, and walked a lot.

And that finalizes this week’s look-see into b-school bloggers’ latest news. We hope that everyone is surviving the ongoing winter months, and that more good news rolls in for applicants. Until next week, have yourselves and fantastic and fun weekend!
