TopMBA Weekly Pulse May 7

Starting things off in this week’s Pulse is some GMAT analysis from EF Essays, who takes an in-depth look at the quant section. My Journey to Business School has some practical information about student visas, while Naija MBA Girl is back with her schedule of things that she has to get done before she embarks on her MBA. Top Dog MBA turned one last week (that’s 10.5 in dog years), which is the same length of time Asanas and an MBA has been at business school – here are her reflections on that year.

Ernest Volganau sat down with GMU School of Business students to talk about entrepreneurship this week. The GMU blog also has news about rising levels of MBA hiring. Kellogg students have tips for marketers on how to reach their market, a preview of the Greater China Business Conference, and how you can apply LEAN operations to your everyday life. And finally, MIT student blogger Irene takes us through some dark passages of recent human history, but emerges hopeful.
