TopMBA Weekly Pulse April 16

The Pulse is back for another massive round of updates from our favorite bloggers. Grant Me Admission is warping forwards through time by beginning his application process early. TopDogMBA, on the other hand, is travelling back in time to reflect on the year that has been. Another regular to the Pulse, EF Essays, has decided to pause time – by deferring for a year.

New blogger Not Another Reapplicant shares some frustrations relating to dings and the waitlists – try talking to Grant! Scott Duncan shares some lessons that he learned about starting your own business from someone who has already been a wild success.

Want to learn how to read minds? Of course you do. And we didn’t even take the same class as Fork in the Road.
