Hello, everyone. Remember when I posted the information about the ExpertCollective.com e-Book a couple of weeks ago? Well, the author of that book is putting together a new book focused on B-school admits and he’s looking for people to participate in a survey. I’ve copied a message from him below…

———-
If you’ve been admitted to business school in the fall, and are
interested in being a part of my new book, I’d appreciate it if you
could take 10 minutes to fill-out a quick survey. The survey results
will be sliced-and-diced into an advice book from recent admits.

By now, you’ve seen references to a couple of blog entries written by my man Jullien, right? Well, he works for an organization called Management Leadership for Tomorrow that helps diverse candidates on their quest to get into business school. He just emailed me about an entry he posted on the MLT blog to provide assistance to applicants doing initial research on business schools. He… Read the rest

Hello all. I’ve got an email below from a student at Cornell who is considering applying to the schools M.Eng program, but hopes to get an MBA in the future. Sounds similar to the reader whose email I addressed a few days ago, right? Well, this guy has a question about the type of extracurricular activities he should pursue during the rest of his time in college to position himself well for B-school. I like emails like this…short and sweet.

What’s going on, folk. I think I’m setting a recent record for speed in responding to user emails with my third in a few days. The message below is from a medical student who is interested in consulting as a possible path after she finishes med school. Her primary question about what consultants do has already been answered on here before, so I gave her a quickie response to that, but I did address her other questions.

Hello, all. The email below is from a business school aspirant with a background in manufacturing consulting who has questions about how he should approach the application process. In fact, he even typed up a 1.5 page description of his background to provide additional context to me. I won’t copy that into this post, but I was surprised to see the amount of detail in his description. Along with this profile description, he asked me a list of questions, each of which could be an entry within itself, that have led me to make a statement/request for the readers of… Read the rest

What’s good, everyone. The message below is from a reader who will soon be starting an M.Eng program at Cornell and would like to eventually follow it up with an MBA. When I got this email, I had to chuckle a bit because it was the third message I’d received from an ingoing Cornell M.Eng student in a two week period. I guess Cornell is doing a good job of recruiting people with aspirations of moving into business in the future

I hope this reader found my input valuable because I don’t know much about his program, but I’ve… Read the rest

Hey there, everyone. I hope all of you are enjoying your summers and taking time to relax and enjoy yourselves. I’d like to start off this entry by wishing everyone affected by the floods in the middle of the U.S. a quick recovery from those events. I have been really affected by the news stories coming out of that region and, while it isn’t the same as what went down with Hurricane Katrina, it is just as sad. I hope all of you reading this will send your thoughts and prayers to those affected by this tragedy. Also, I hope… Read the rest
