Fridays From the Frontline

Hello and welcome to another installment of Fridays From the Frontline. Clear Admit has been vigilant in its perusal of the MBA blogosphere this week and can see that the dwindling summer days have lit a fire under aspirants and current students alike. Though August remains high on the horizon, many bloggers’ attentions were focused on different matters this week.

Ellipser studied for the GMAT and drafted his Tuck essays while sitting on an upper west side pier. MBAYogi read an interesting article about the movie Inception in the New Yorker. Miles to MBA attended an information session for ISB and planned to apply to the school in round 2. A. enjoyed his vacation but went back to work on his applications, promising himself he wouldn’t work on his essays while at work.

Olin ’12 Beautiful Mind took off and winged his way to St. Louis. IMD ’11 Howie and his wife hoped to sell their condo before departing for Europe, but knew it could be difficult. INSEAD ’11 The Journeyer addressed the relative frequency of divorce at the school. Babson ’12 Rocky encouraged his readers to check out the new student profiles on Babson’s website.

Kellogg ’11 Orlando continued his internship, took part in his mid-summer review, identified areas he’d like to improve upon and went golfing. Boston ’11 Felish shared one of her favorite rainy day mac n’ cheese recipes. Kellogg ’11 Shobhit went to a team learning session at McKinsey and picked up a few insights. Harvard ’11 Military to Business divided private sector careers into three categories and asked his readers what they would do. McDonough ’11  Part-Timer felt pleasantly surprised by certain grades he received and looked forward to a vacation in Barbados. Darden ’11 Julie saw new faces arriving in Charlottesville and looked back on where she was in her b-school life a year ago. Kellogg ’12 Jeremy provided a few pointers on how to approach one’s short- and long-term goals.

And that concludes this week’s wonderful wander through the b-school blogosphere. We hope current students continue to enjoy their summer jobs while incoming students enjoy their last weeks of ‘freedom.’ Until next week, have a great weekend!
