Welcome to Fridays From the Frontlines! Every week the Clear Admit team explores the MBA blogosphere to find and report the newest stories. This week, there were no applicant updates – we hope they are too busy celebrating their acceptances to be updating their blogs! – while current students were busy reflecting on their spring breaks and thinking about the future.
Kellogg ’11 Orlando was gearing up to join his team at the Boston University International Tech Strategy Case Competition. Foster ’11 Helen discussed the highlights of her trip to Kenya with a bunch of classmates, including meeting Kenya Airways’ director of marketing, going on a safari, and kissing a giraffe. BU ’12 Felish discussed how her cohort founded BU Global Services and is excited for the club’s upcoming trip to Guatemala.
Returning from spring break brought various reactions from second-year students, as Harvard ’10 Gabrille gushed about networking and interviewing with various people from Walt Disney Parks & Resorts in Orlando, while McCombs ’10 Metal found it hard to return to class. Meanwhile, many second-years found it difficult to ignore their impending graduations, as Darden ’10 July Dream attended a “mandatory” graduation meeting as well as Darden’s quarterly mustache competition. Fuqua ’10 Randy finished all his core class assignments for Semester 3 and is gearing up to cheer on Duke Men’s and Women’s Basketball. With graduation prompting them to reflect back on their past two years, Darden ’10 MechaniGal discussed founding the Darden South Asia Society and passing the baton to first-years, while fellow Darden student Oren encouraged underclassmen to get involved and become leaders at Darden, as doing so made his two-year journey so wonderful.
And that completes this week’s worth of business from the b-school blogosphere. We hope all round two applicants are receiving good news, and that current students ease back into classes after spring break and can enjoy their remaining time until the end of the school year. Until next week, have a great weekend!
