is an MBA right for you?
Ask yourself that question. Then don't believe your answer.
It's nearing the end of the quarter. Finals are looming. I did okay on my mid-terms, but I really need to work hard on the finals (especially for the classes which had an "optional" mid-term -- which means that the mid-term score is discarded if you do better on the final.) All of this is, of course, Grade Non-Disclosure notwithstanding.
Presentations have started (are they over already?!) Got a bunch of invites to these "private" events by the consulting companies. Which doesn't mean much for consulting, because there are tons of closed-list positions anyway. But read Satyajeet's eloquent lament on that and 9 other topics here.
It's been a tough, tough week. Got chewed up by a professor, mostly because I was bold enough to ask a very un-thought-through question. Oh well.
In happier news, I found out that at least one 2nd year reads my blog. Yay. (Yeah, *that was* the upside for the week.)
Diwali party's coming up on Friday at Vermillion, a chic Indian-fusion resto-bar in the city (curious: they don't have a web-site.) Bhangra, south-asian tapas and 2 free premium-drinks. Very bollywoodish, the whole set-up, no? Golden Gargoyles, the annual GSB film-fest and party extravaganza is on Saturday. I think after the weekend, it's hunker-down time until after the first-week of December, which brings the quarter to a close.
Oh, BTW, did I mention temperatures? How about 18 degrees for a low yesterday? Yes, fahrenheit. And it snowed too.
So are we getting away for the winter break? Somewhere exciting? Mexican beaches? Caribbean beaches? No chance. I'll be practicing cases for consulting interviews.
So, ask yourself that question.

I'm putting together a podcast for www.mbapodcaster.com. I'm looking for B-school students to interview who consulted with MBA Admissions Consultants to assist them with the application/essay process. If you (or any of your fellow students) utilized a consultant and would like to be interviewed, please contact me at kwallace77 at yahoo (dot) com in Portland, OR.
