I have had a placeholder on my site for MBA Resources since I started this blog. But unfortunately I was not able to fill it up with any content so far. Admittedly, there are other sections of my site that are empty too for now, but eventually I am going to put some helpful links and maybe reviews of the stuff that is of interest to my blog readers.

In the meanwhile I just found a great website by  Hella who keeps a blog news aggregator related to MBA. Unlike some other automated news aggregators that occasionaly link to my blog, and often in a clumsy manner, Hella’s blogs list is hand-picked and vetted by a human. So you are not going to run into some cheap generic impersonator with no real content, or just a paraphrasing of commonly known stuff.


Another nice feature of that site is that instead of clumping together “everything-MBA” it has three meaningful separate sections:  MBA Applicant, MBA Student, MBA Alumni blogs. This way I did not have to stumble through the applicants’ blogs, as that phase is mostly irrelevant to me already, and the alumni blogs, which I would probably be more interested closer to my graduation. I went straight to the MBA Student Blogs to feel the pulse of my MBA fellow students in other schools. Granted, all I had time to look through were full-time MBA students. I am not sure if it is by design, or just happened that way that there are no part-timers blogs there.

Regardless, I found a few minutes to look at a couple of MBA students blogs. I was really amused to read a post from a Darden MBA student about a small town movie theater experience. It makes me appreciate more the urban character and flavor of GWU, even if  GWSB is lower ranked by all the ranking authorities :-) .

I actually accidentally drifted into Alumni blog section and found a provoking post on the value of commenting in blogs.

Now, if I ever want to become an MBA alumni I’d better go back to my Managerial Accounting final preparation :-) And you can browse, discover, and savour some of the great MBA blogs on your own.
