Just in case you were starting to wonder why you put in all this effort only to have to sit on your hands for what seems an interminable amount of time while the schools figure out if they even want to meet you to interview… Today we have a fun update to share! This person […]
Continue reading...Success Story! A post-MBA retrospective (part 3)
We’re still in the throes of a Thanksgiving food coma so we’ll take this opportunity to continue the so-generous and so-insightful contribution received from a seasons-past former BSer about his pre- and post-MBA experiences, and the transformations he had in his thinking along the way. If you missed it, start with Part 1 here or […]
Continue reading...Success Story! A post-MBA retrospective (part 2)
Let’s continue what we started on Friday! Here’s a Q&A from EssaySnark to a long-ago Brave Supplicant who’s now made it all the way through the process, completed his MBA, and been spit out the other side. Catch up on Part 1 if you missed it, and here is Part 2! ## **EssaySnark:** How […]
Continue reading...Success Story! A post-MBA retrospective (part 1)
We’re of course always thrilled when a Brave Supplicant makes it into a school of their dreams, and even more gratifying is when we get to follow them through the process and back out into the Real World again! It’s always slightly disconcerting to realize how quickly the time passes. Any of you BSers who […]
Continue reading...“Update from the trenches”
We recently received this most amazing note from a long-ago BSer, and we asked for permission to post it, because it’s just that good! Since many of you are in Essay H3ll right now, we figured we’d share this so you can see what’s on the other side this massive effort and loss of hair […]

We’re always thrilled when a Brave Supplicant we know makes it into a school of their dreams. We’re even more thrilled when they stay in touch with us as they actually go to bschool, and share news of their subsequent successes along the way. We got a report from one such former BSer last fall […]
Continue reading...“MBA students should take more risks.”
We’ve seen some interesting videos come out from different top business schools with an ever increasing frequency and Duke in particular seems to be releasing a lot of them. Here’s one from last summer that is short and sweet (always appreciated!) with an important message about 2/3 of the way through. For context, at the […]
Continue reading...Tales from the Trenches! A belated Success Story, with important advice to BSers who are headed to school this Fall.
In a mini-chastisement blahg post back in January, we tsk-tsked over those long-forgotten BSers who said they’d send us a little something to capture their trials and tribulations of applying to bschool, and then never did. We laid out several instances of ghosting that we were on the receiving end of. Well lo and behold! […]
Continue reading...From the Trenches: Year 2 of your MBA program
And here’s Part 2 from our former BSer/now MBA grad – appropriately covering what you have to look forward to in Year 2 of your coming MBA experience. If you missed Part 1, catch up here. Year 2: That internship was fun. Do I want to do that after school? 2nd year of B-school may […]
Continue reading...($) Admitted Applicant Problems! Bschool and significant others
No this post is not talking about the challenges of attending business school while in a committed relationship – though there’s probably a whole blog that could be devoted to that topic! Today we’re talking about international applicants who get admitted to American schools and then have a very common life situation to grapple with....
