Pre-MBA: The fun begins | The adventures of a MBA student
https://timbob101.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/pre-mba-the-fun-begins
The adventures of a MBA student. The blunderings of a n00b through the MBA admissions process. July 16, 2014. Pre-MBA: The fun begins. I was aware ‘professional London’ is a pretty multicultural community, but the last few months have really made me realise how much. With just over a month to go before we start arriving on campus for registration, fellow HBS ‘admits’ have started to leave on last minute trips abroad – holidays, or more often, trips home to family. A lull of sorts. July 17, 2014 at 5:27 am.

The adventures of a MBA student. The blunderings of a n00b through the MBA admissions process. May 29, 2014. Forgetting I’m Doing an MBA. I’ve been really quiet on here over the last two months, mainly because I’ve been off getting married/honeymooning. (Thanks very much dear reader, it was wonderful day! My new inspiration and mascot, the Monkey of Calm. Now I’ve had some time to get things moving, in the background most of the seemingly endless paperwork seems now to be completed.

The adventures of a MBA student. The blunderings of a n00b through the MBA admissions process. July 6, 2014. A lull of sorts. Time is moving on steadily, and it’s now only just over a month before I leave for Boston. Until recently time was really dragging on, but things have suddenly started to accelerate – I’ve still got lots to do packing up my life in London before I move on and there don’t seem enough days any more! The advice boils down to three main areas;. Practice your beer pong before you get t...

The adventures of a MBA student. The blunderings of a n00b through the MBA admissions process. January 14, 2015. First Semester – Diversity and the Case Method. It’s been an unbelievable first semester at HBS, and I’m still catching my breath.

Attitudes and Diversity at HBS. In addition to the vast array o...
