Though I had some scary classes this semester (in terms of crazy difficult material), I actually did OK. My Wharton academic career is complete! I have attained the 19 credit units (I actually completed 19.5) required to graduate while also completing majors in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Strategic Management. The Wharton grading system At Wharton, [...]

I just sold the largest piece of furniture in my apartment and I’ve concluded that having a frieght elevator in the building in a big city is at the top of my priority list. When I first moved in here, I didn’t realize the benefits quite so much. Looking back, moving my things from the [...]

So it’s Saturday May 6, one day since Wharton Beach Week started down in Miami, yet I’m still up in Philadelphia. Why? There are several reasons actually, but the most annoying of which is the fact that I haven’t sold all my furniture (and that absolutely must happen). However, over the past two days I’ve [...]

I’ve added the SimpleTags plugin to my WordPress install to allow me to easily add Technorati tags to my posts. While some MBA-related websites use tags, I’m not sure many in the MBA applicant and student blogging community do. It would be nice to see MBA bloggers use them so that content is much easier [...]

This post will be on ongoing effort to document some of the things I enjoyed most while at Wharton. Exercise Take a stroll along Walnut from the Schuylkill to the Deleware Walk to Rittenhouse Square Park, find an open park bench, and sit a spell Run up to Falls Bridge in Fairmount Park along East [...]

I took this site down temporarily to allow myself to tame the comment and trackback spam. It had cluttered my database so much that real comments were actually getting marked as spam (WordPress seemed to try to learn, but perhaps it overlearned?). Now that I have that sorted out, you’ll find a lot of previously [...]

I just got through pouring over the 50 blogs up for this year’s Best of Blogging awards. When you haven’t been keeping up with them regularly, it’s no quick task. I first setup everything in Google’s RSS Reader to make things easy to navigate. Then I got to reading. Among the things I considered were: [...]

Classes officially ended yesterday here at Wharton. My final week was mostly light in terms of lecture. In fact, I only had 3 of them. But I did have two exams. Tax was on Wednesday morning and Marketing Strategy wrapped up with a short case exam on Thursday. Interestingly enough, I’d solved a case on [...]

Now that my interviews for the season are over, I thought I’d post some tips on common areas. Overall, the interviews did not feel a lot different from round-to-round implying that a similar quality of applicants was invited over the course of the season. Anticipate (but don’t all out assault!) questions that are likely to [...]

At some point in the day, the final exam solution for my Problems in Financial Reporting (Accounting) class was posted. After getting in late tonight and seeing the notification in my email, I decided to have a peek. This exam was pretty tough for me and I fully expected the outcome to be scary. As [...]
