It’s that time of year again, folks.
The bschool applications, deadlines, application tips, standardized tests, and stress. LOTS of stress. But there are PLENTY of resources to bring the stress level down. Maybe it seems like you’re getting more information than you need (or can handle), but the truth is that you can never be too informed when it comes to getting admitted into the MBA program of your dreams. Keeping up with the program’s offerings, the administrative staff, and the latest updates to the application process is absolutely essential to your success… and just might give you an edge over the other applicants.
These days, staying connected with your bschool targets has become easier than ever thanks to the INTERNET. The adcoms are all sharing news, updates, and even advice on their blogs and social media handles, making those RICH resources for info. If you don’t mine it, you miss it. And to make it even easier for you to take advantage of these resources, we’ve aggregated the blogs and Twitter handles for some of the top 50 MBA programs in the U.S.
Simply add the following blogs to your RSS Feed or Google Reader, or follow your bschool on Twitter to stay on top of it all. Here it goes…
