($) School research idea: What about talking to professors?

Yesterday we tried to light a fire for you, by suggesting that bschool can be this incredible opportunity for personal growth and change, and that you can make the most of it when you go into it with the mindset of seeking out new experiences. That whole lean in thing that trended a few years back.

Even before all that, you knew about the importance of learning about a school as part of your process of applying — and you’ve been doing it!

You’ve been attending their webinars and signing up for discussions with students.

Maybe one of those Zooms was a presentation by a professor about her research focus at the school.

What about emailing her to see if she can spend time with you on the phone?
