Walking to School
by Hella ~ October 31st, 2005Trick or treat? Neither. It’s for real this time and not really a treat for anyone. SEPTA went on strike at midnight. I figured this would happen so I woke up early and walked to school. It takes about 45 minutes at a pretty good clip. Round trip I have about a two hour “commute” [...]
Second Week of Reads
by Hella ~ October 30th, 2005I have been going at it for a solid 7.5 hours now. I started reading applications that are due tomorrow a little after 1pm today and I’m about 70% done currently. I will probably end up putting the last couple to the side since I still have a midterm to study for this evening. I [...]
Brief Break
by Hella ~ October 29th, 2005Finally the weekend is here. After three full days of interviewing from morning til afternoon (and attending class when possible), I’m glad to be looking out at Saturday morning. It seems that interviewing is a sure fire way to end up with a bad headache at the end of the day. At least when I [...]
Let the Interviews Begin
by Hella ~ October 25th, 2005Well I made it through today. After getting my reading done (I spent 3 hours off and on completing it) for my 1:30pm class, I sat in the lecture/case discussion and managed to make what I thought to be a decent comment. When I put so much effort into preparing for class, sometimes I feel [...]
Priorities
by Hella ~ October 25th, 2005This week is stacking up to be one of the busiest ever. I have 3-5 interviews each day Wednesday through Friday and I have a big midterm exam tonight in International Banking. This morning, I’ve decided to miss my first two classes so that I can prepare for the week ahead and study more for [...]
Reading Admissions Applications
by Hella ~ October 24th, 2005I finished my first official set of application reviews this afternoon. I had been working on them throughout the weekend. I’m finding that it takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to review just one. A week’s worth of work is easily a two to three day job. With lots of stuff going on [...]
MBA Admissions Blog - New Style
by Hella ~ October 22nd, 2005I know I’ve neglected my own blog (the 2nd year really isn’t “better” than the 1st in terms of being busy), but I wanted to point out that we’ve redone the look of the Wharton Adcomblog. The new template brings the blog’s style in line with the recently redesigned main admissions website. You may have [...]
