Welcome to the freshest Fridays From the Frontlines! Each week the Clear Admit team takes a ‘spin’ around the MBA blogosphere, searching out the newest perspectives and stories. This week, applicants had a few final words about their round two results, and current students shared all sorts of stories and information with their readers.
Nistha expressed an appreciation for a few strong women. Rocky felt that he had three ‘strikes’ during his Anderson interview. Dream Chaser reviewed his experience at his Day at Kellogg weekend, and went into detail about his fellow admits. Happy Libran discussed his Wharton hub interview in San Francisco. Steve was moving forward with his waitlist strategy, and asked what others in similar positions were doing. After a few interview invites, but no acceptances, LBiggs considered his next step. Madologue recounted a love story … between herself and Haas. Hari aimed to sell his car and leave the US in four weeks, and, with an acceptance under his belt, asked his readers what he should write about now.
Kellogg ’11 DG wrote about the importance of ‘a few good mentors.’ BU ’11 Felish gave newly admitted students a tour, and looked forward to sleeping over spring break. Chicago Booth ’11 Globthink publicized the upcoming Chicago Booth European Conference. Kellogg ’11 Orlando chimed in on an email a Stern professor sent to a potential student, which was a mix of humor and harshness. Harvard ’11 Military to Businss was moments away from a week-long hiking adventure in Brazil, but took a moment to update his readers on his summer internship plans.
Third years were a relatively quiet bunch this week. Harvard ’10 Gabrielle saw Christian Soriano in the flesh while attending the school’s Retail and Luxury Goods Conference. Darden ’10 JulyDream took an 18 hour trip to see an iron ore mine, an ice hotel and reindeer farm. Ronjon went through the recruiting process successfully, even after originally deciding not to.
And that sums up this sensational week’s worth of b-school business. We hope that any round three applicants are feeling good about their submissions, and that current students have locked down their summer internships or full-time job plans. Until next week, have a wonderful weekend!
