I’ve got a lot to update you guys on, but it’s getting pretty late so I’ll have to make a more complete post tomorrow. Over the weekend, I attended Fuqua’s Ford Workshop for Minority Applicants and it was a hell of a time…which I’ll go into more detail about tomorrow.

A few hours ago, I had my admissions interview for Stanford with one of their alums here in DC. I was really nervous about this one because I know how hard it is to get an invitation. I thought I’d get grilled, so I spent a couple of hours prepping… Read the rest

One submitted his on Monday and the other two submitted thris on Tuesday at 10am and 3:30pm, respectively.
