Best of Blogging Celebrity Judges

Earlier this month Clear Admit’s Best of Blogging (BoB) nominees were announced, and with only seven more days before the 2009-2010 BoB  polls close, it is time to turn our attention to this year’s panel of celebrity judges. Each year Clear Admit reaches out to the greater business school community to develop a top notch panel of b-school insiders. This year bloggers will be judged not only by their peers and the Clear Admit staff, but also three unique individuals with great MBA ‘pedigrees.’ Without any further ado, our celebrity judges!

Brad Garrison (AKA hella):  Lending his thoughts on the BoBs for a sixth consecutive year, Brad is a veteran of the MBA blogging space. He blogged his way through his own Wharton MBA (he graduated in 2006), and continues to host aggregated lists of the latest posts by MBA applicant, student and alum bloggers on his site.

Soojin Kwoh Koh: Having gone through the application and enrollment process of b-schools herself, first as an applicant and then as a  Ross student, Soojin has been in the shoes that many BoB nominees are currently wearing. As the Director of Admissions at Ross School of Business, Soojin is no stranger to the application cycle’s highs and lows, and maintains her own blog to keep Ross applicants informed and engaged.

Peter Johnson: Peter has been the Executive Director of Haas’ Full-Time MBA Program Admissions Committee for over ten years. He, too, has an online presence, which was cultivated to provide applicants up-to-date answers to their most pressing questions.

The years of experience these three have guarantees us a dynamic group of celebrity judges for this year’s competition. We’re looking forward to learning what they think of this year’s stellar group of nominees and seeing how their thoughts, combined with those of the nominee pool and Clear Admit Staff, impact the rankings!  Stay tuned for the announcement on May 4th!
