An Introduction

Welcome all, to what some people (just me for now) are calling the best mba blog ever. Hopefully this will be a useful resource for all aspiring MBA applicants. The MBA Application is a pretty "thought-intensive" process, so this Blog will be the home of my thoughts, when (or if) they appear.

First of all, an introduction. My name is BL. I am 25 yrs old and am from London. I studied Economics at a "lovely" Oxbridge institution and have worked for 3-4 years or so for an Investment Bank. I will get to my motivations for doing an MBA in a later post perhaps. My current goal is to get all my applications done for the first round of deadlines this Fall.

Btw we don't use the term "Fall" in England, but I am embracing American terminology seeing as I will be applying to some US Schools. I believe we call it Autumn term. As some of you will know, schools typically have 3 application rounds. The first round in Fall, typically has the highest acceptance rate. Your chances get progressively slimmer with the second round (~January) and the third round (~March/April).

Anyway, I am currently studying for the GMATs and thinking about my essays. That is all for now.

Peace out.

BL
