A little over a week ago I bought a new printer and a handheld scanner. I wrote about it here.

March 24th, 2008 by RVD · 3 Comments
No, this post is not about getting an MBA in 10 days or anything like that.
Don’t get me wrong…work is busy. Work is actually crazy busy. It’s so busy that I haven’t had a day off in months and this means that I have been working literally every single day including Saturday and […]

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 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, […]

March 12th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments
Ok, the cat is out of the bag(I’ve always wondered where that odd phrase came from…read here). Yesterday I received an email from Chairman P. Of course you all know Chairman P right? He is the one and only man behind the most famous Wharton MBA for Executives blog on the internet […]

March 12th, 2008 by RVD · 5 Comments
About 2 weeks ago, I wrote a blog entry (old blog entry) about shopping. I bought a calculator and the Olympus WS-331M digital voice recorder with music player. I was trying to decide between this one and another Olympus but ended up choosing this one. My primary reasons was capacity (this one […]

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 […]

My Wharton gear is here! I went to a website last week and bought some Wharton stuff…you know, stuff like a hat, t-shirts, sweatshirts, a jacket, etc. I bought most of it as gifts. As soon as I put on the hat, my son Tyler got really excited and said “mo-jah!” (hat […]
