5/29 Need resources on applying to bschool. Hints, advice, etc. ok thx
\_ Don't be lazy. Do your own research.
\_ this is what bschool is all about. someone on the motd will
do his research for him, he'll get into bschool, get an
MBA, and be hired at a fancy management consulting firm.
He will then give all of his consulting advice based on
responses to motd posts. In a couple of years, look for
fortune 500 companies to start using ED as their standard
text editor and giving huge campaign contributions to the
libertarian party.
\_ anonymous motd comic, is that you???
\_ nah, I was in meetings all day. sometimes a person just
doesn't get a chance to be around for these things. --amc
\_ perhaps "amc" should really stand for "anonymous motd
chorus." -mbamocker
\_ I'm willing to share. It's a self amusement thing,
not an ego thing. Feel free to sign off. --amc
\_ Don't be this guy: http://csua.org/u/328
\_ My coworker passed by him when we ran the Bay to Breakers.
Rather sucky story.
\_ bschool?
\_ Prolly, beeznus skool.
\_ hints, tips, advice: study hard for the test. there's nothing
intellectually difficult but there are types of problems you won't
find on other bubble tests. carefully research the schools you
might want to attend. it's all about who you'll meet and making
contacts. do *not* at anytime slack off with the belief that your
superior intelligence will get you through any part of the process.
it won't. keep in mind that MBAs aren't getting jobs now and most
never will. ask yourself why you'd spend that much money to get a
degree that won't be worth much when you graduate in 2-4 years. i
got as far as taking prep courses and taking the test. i did fine
on the test and the schools i was talking to said i'd almost
certainly get in but i never applied. definitely call the school
and establish a personal relationship with the people there. an
mba is the ultimate in the "who you know, not what you know" line
of thought. |
