Why Me? Why this Blog?

The purpose of this blog is to give prospective students the inside scoop on what really goes on in the life of a Full-time MBA candidate at Northeastern University.

As a member of the most recent group of admits, I have just completed what all of you are beginning right now.  I took the GMAT, compiled my transcripts, collected recommendations and spent countless hours working on my applications with the goal of ultimately being accepted into a program that would prepare me for a career after graduation.

During the months (or really, years) of the application process I looked at a school's acceptance stats, employment rates, location and so on, but what I really wanted was an idea of what I was getting myself into; what my day-to-day activities would look like in a graduate business program.

I had heard an MBA program was rigorous, that it was all about networking, getting internships and involvement in student organizations, but I didn’t know what that meant in a concrete sense.

This is what my blog is about: giving you a living picture of what your next two years will look like.
