Hello and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s ongoing blog post covering the latest news in the MBA blogosphere. This week applicants received more interview invites, or dealt with the continued wait to hear how they fared while current b-school students attended conferences and began focusing on recruiting.

Army JMO didn’t do as well as he had hoped on his CFA exam, but wasn’t resigned to giving up.  Ccatcher provided a quick update on her R2 schools, which included an interview invite from Tepper as well as fully submitted applications to Anderson and Johnson.  MBAfome realized that the hardest part of the MBA application process wasn’t the GMAT but the wait for news once your applications are submitted.

Kellogg ’13 Night Owl previewed the upcoming 25th annual Black Management Association Conference, the theme of which will be “Crossroads: Building on the Past to Execute for the Future.”
