Well, the stuff arrived. I’ve had about a week to play with the printer and scanner and here are my findings.
The printer rocks! This is an awesome printer. It’s laser so it’s […]

The 10 day MBA?

March 24th, 2008 by RVD · 3 Comments

No, this post is not about getting an MBA in 10 days or anything like that.

Tips for Admissions

March 18th, 2008 by RVD · 1 Comment

So today I’ll go over tips for admissions. First my disclaimer…I have never worked for a University nor have I ever talked to an actual adcom member about admissions. I’ve been to some info-sessions, interviews, and made a few observations from what I’ve seen and I’m basically just sharing those. I could […]

School hasn’t started yet, decisions haven’t been mailed out, and there really isn’t anything to talk about yet in terms of the actual Wharton program. The Wharton website says that decisions will be announced around April 15th but some random blogs and such on the internet say that last year the phone calls (for […]

The Quakers?

March 15th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

I’m a pretty big sports fan.  I’m not really crazy or anything but I like to watch sports.  I have done some martial arts and always enjoyed boxing as a child so my favorite sports are combat sports like watching MMA (UFC, stuff like that), boxing, wrestling, etc.  When it comes to more mainstream sports, […]

MBA is expensive…

March 7th, 2008 by RVD · 2 Comments

It’s easy to sort of get caught up and immune to how much money all of this MBA stuff costs. I haven’t even started school yet but so far I’ve had to pay:
1) ~$200 worth of GMAT study books, MBA admissions books, etc.
2) $250 to take the GMAT
3) $250 X 3 = $750 for […]
