Welcome back to Fridays From the Frontline! Clear Admit’s weekly round up of the latest news from MBA applicant and student bloggers. Since last week, more applicants have received news or scheduled interviews while students continue to have all kinds of experiences, from professional treks to awkward recruiting dinners.
Steve jumped into the Atlantic ocean and took a photograph with a giant chicken…but didn’t remember any of it. XLick felt that his Cornell interview was more of a conversation than an interrogation. Nistha, inspired by a recent post by Orlando, delved into the differences between generalization and specialization. AJ heard bad and medium news, receiving a zap from Yale and a waitlist notification from Stern. Madalogue weighed the merits of attending Tepper or Olin, and decided on Tepper. Hari bid adieu to 5,000 euros thus ensuring his place in the newest class of IESE. Procrastinator happily reported his interview invite from Tepper, and shared a poem. Rocky found out who his UCLA interviewer would be and expressed gratitude to one frequent adcom twitterer. Dream Chaser still hadn’t heard from Haas, but looked forward to his Day at Kellogg and HBS interview.
Haas ’11 Sunnyside Up reminded her readers of the importance of taking time for oneself. Kellogg ’11 Orlando noticed an increased interest in energy and emerging markets on campus. Goizueta ’11 Ahembeea couldn’t believe how quickly the MBA program goes by, and discussed the challenges of finding a relevant internship as an international student. Kellogg ’11 Shobhit encouraged readers not to dismiss Microsoft. Foster ’11 Helen probably would agree, as she announced her summer internship with Mirosoft, and looked forward to some of the perks this position would provide. Chicago Booth ’11 Globthink announced his intention to award a prize to the most global US company. BU ’12 Felish helped organize a one day non-profit consulting event.
Darden ’10 Oren attended a red carpet Darden fundraiser and joined forces to bid on a basketball. McCombs ’10 Paragon2Pieces knew her blogging had been spotty, but found a majority of her time dedicated to ‘running around like a chicken [its] head off and writer’s block.’ Marshall ’10 Andrew began creating a presentation that will help others understand the power of social media during a job search. HBS ’10 Gabrielle traveled to New York for a Harvard Entertainment and Media Club Trek, and visited the offices of the Food Network, HBO, Time Warner and MTV. Darden ’10 July Dream outlined a few reasons she thought the case method worked. McCombs ’10 Metal participated in a politically charged and slightly uncomfortable recruiting dinner, the best part of which was the dessert. Fuqua ’10 Ian compiled a humorous list of FAQs for his classmates’ upcoming trip to China.
And that concludes this week’s look-see into the lively goings-on of b-school bloggers. We hope good news continues to trickle in, and that everyone manages to keep their spirits up, even as winter drags on. Until next week, have a great weekend!
