Fridays From The Frontline

Welcome back to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s weekly wander through the blogs of MBA students and those aspiring to join them in business school bliss. This week was a relatively quiet week, applicants were hearing a bit more from their round one schools, mostly in the form of interview invites, while current students were wrapping up their classes and exams.

Rocky Balboa flew to Bangalore to see his family and girlfriend, and planned on attending an upcoming Darden event in Delhi. XLick finished his Cornell rough drafts and planned to send them out to be read by family and friends.

Fridays From The Frontline

Hi there, and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s marvelous meander through the MBA blogosphere. This week applicants and students covered all sorts of subjects, from their Thanksgiving holidays to the end of their exams.

Steve went to a NYC Johnson information session and had a nice interaction with the school’s assistant dean. Steve wasn’t the only one at the session, he ran into XClick, who, hearing about Johnson’s finance opportunities, regretted not looking at the school sooner. A Beautiful Mind, having submitted all his round one applications, was having trouble killing the anxiety of waiting for news, but had a number of possible ways to distract himself. LBiggs was also finding the wait . . . → Continue Reading

Steve shared a few of the lessons he learned along his MBA path. XLick linked to Clear Admit’s NYU interview wiki, as a method to prepare for any upcoming invites. Illuminati’s ‘date’ with the GMAT was rapidly approaching. Procrastinator worried over the meaning of Kellogg waiving the interview portion of his application.

Hello and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s ongoing cyber summarization of the thoughts and actions of MBA bloggers.

Steve and his fiancee visited the NYU campus and enjoyed sitting in on a class, but weren’t quite as thrilled with the student conversation that followed. A Beautiful Mind submitted his Fuqua materials and waited for his final recommender to submit their part of his application package. XLick had a wild weekend.

Fridays From The Frontline

Hello and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, the weekly blog post dedicated to looking inside the MBA applicant and student experience. The MBA blogosphere was hopping this week, with some applicants receiving interview invitations or preparing their second round essays, while students had a few thoughts about the recruiting process.

A Beautiful Mind received an invite from ISB and was quite relieved (congratulations!). Steve went to his fiancee’s brother’s wedding and may have laid down some pretty cheesy dance moves and was looking for a few NYU details to spice up his essays. XLick completed his NYU essays and felt that they were quite strong, especially his creative essay. Atypical HBS was still . . . → Continue Reading

Fridays From The Frontline

Welcome back to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s jovially jubilant jaunt through the sometimes fraught, oft times fantastic, MBA application and student blogging process. Many students this week are either in the midst of, or preparing for, their mid-term exams. Applicants, after a brief respite after round 1 deadlines, seem to be gathering their strengths for the next set of essays they will write for round two. The weather on the east coast of U.S. has teetered from the last days of summer to chilly  rains and finally a definite shift in the color of foliage (green to reds, yellows and reds!) that represents the official changing of the seasons. In other news, at least one east coast city is . . . → Continue Reading

Fridays From The Frontline

Welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s ongoing look into the lives of bloggers hoping for, or living, the MBA lifestyle. As some deadlines for the first round start looming in an altogether new way (a week or less) the applicant pool was a bit more quiet, probably focusing on last minute edits and new topic approaches. Ah, the finishing touches. Current students were a bit more vocal, especially those first years finally hitting their stride in terms of social and academic commitments.

Steve felt that the GMAT, and many other things, were all about confidence. XLick attended a Columbia finance and economics panel. Bizwiz started his own biz-ness. Illuminati had a lot to report . . . → Continue Reading

Hello and welcome to another installment of Clear Admit’s weekly blog round  up, Fridays From The Frontline. Labor Day in the U.S. marked the end of summer for many, and the weather on the east coast certainly is reflecting this change. Most all students are happily ensconced in the first few weeks of school, and have provided a number of posts discussing the relative merits of their courses. With only three weeks before some big Round 1 deadlines, the applicant pool seemed focused on getting their essays and recommendations together.
