Dear Mom and Dad, Hope you are well!

First up, to Sam and all other admitted students for Continue ReadingUnexpected Help in the Recruiting Process
Laura T'13, February 26, 2012
The on-campus recruiting process was definitely a whirlwind. There were so many companies coming on campus, so many of my fellow classmates in suits, and so much extra stress around campus.

Pete. T'13, February 21, 2012

For those of you considering which schools are right for you, you’ve probably been through the same thought process as me. That being said, if you’re from a big city and have never lived in a less urban area, you probably have some reservations about signing Continue ReadingCrazy Parties
Luis G - T'13, February 19, 2012
I’ve been hitting the party scene pretty hard lately. I’ve attended about five parties over the last couple of weekends. They’ve been fun, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m overdoing it, much less if I can handle the headaches, Continue ReadingLetters of Recommendation (a.k.a. CSQs)
