I spent this past weekend in LA enjoying my very first admit weekend. For the most part, the event played out the way I expected, but there were definitely a few things that I stood out to me, which I’ll highlight in this post. If you’d like a detailed summary, feel free to go to … Read more
If you can’t tell, I’m having difficulty finding inspiration to blog right now. Before I get a comment about my “post quality”, please note that this is a natural progression for every MBA applicant blog. For a quick comparison, see below: MBA applicant blog: drama, sacrifices, stress, tough feedback, essays, decisions, dings, acceptances MBA student … Read more
