Fridays From the Frontline

Hello, and welcome to Fridays From the Frontline! As the seasons shift from winter to spring (or summer to fall if you’re south of the equator), many bloggers have a chipper tone to their latest posts. Applicants were moving forward with their post-application plans, or still waiting for one last school’s notification, while current students traveled internationally and looked towards graduation day.

Steve’s bachelor party weekend in Atlantic City involved gambling and an $1,800 meal. XLick bought a $600 suit, and felt a little embarrassed about it, but figured it would be his ‘go-to’ suit for b-school. Braveheart showed some serious love for the Ross website, and encouraged others to check it out. Madalogue’s love affair with Haas came to an end as she received her zap notification, but she looked towards the future and her two admits. Ardent Meerkat chimed in with her latest admit/zap news, which included invites to Johnson and Fuqua, and zaps from Harvard and MIT.  Hari was done with his application process, and explained why he chose IESE.

Foster ’11 Helen traveled to Kenya with a group of classmates and felt overwhelmed by Nairobi’s markets. BU ’11 Felish did not appreciate Mondays and wanted to know the results of her recent interview. Kellogg ’11 Orlando happily joined the Kellogg team that will compete in the Boston University Tech Case Competition. Berkeley/Haas ’11 Sunnyside Up struggled to connect with her classmates, but did feel that progress was being made.

Darden ’10 July Dream only had 31 more hours in Sweden before returning to the states. Marshall ’10 Andrew acknowledged that his schedule didn’t leave much time for blogging, but gave a little insight into the world of startups to his readers. Darden ’10 Mechanigal welcomed spring and outlined what her final few months at Darden were going to look like. Fuqua ’10 Randy was also looking at the dwindling list of things to do before graduation. McCombs ’10 Paragon2Pieces recounted her experience of getting to India for spring break.

And that wraps up this week’s round up of the b-school blogosphere. As the sun shines brighter and warmer, we hope that everyone – students and applicants alike – get to take a little time to enjoy it! Until next week, have a great weekend.
