Hi everybody! I just wanted to let you all know about a podcast released today by MBA Podcaster, which discusses setting a plan for your business school application, to maximize your chances of getting in. What's more, it features Scott Shrum and Omari Bouknight, the authors of "Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools".

In three years, Harvard amassed $600 million in alumni donations, which will go toward financial aid, global outreach endeavors, and educational technology, amongst other things. The allocation to financial aid, a whopping $114 million, will directly benefit eighty percent of their students. Such aids allow students to graduate with less debt, allowing them more freedom to pursue non-profit endeavors, should they so choose. Securing this large sum in the form of donations took three years worth of personal one-on-one visits to alumni, to explain the goal of the campaign. However, they managed it, the amazing thing is that they did.
$600 million. Wow.

That was the name of the Harvard Business School's first ever fully online course. The class was created and offered in the hopes of facilitating better integration of advancing technology with education. The course utilized a message board for discussion of ideas, and the professor was also active in these discussions (as well as being contactable via e-mail). HBS plans to offer the course again next fall, though they are looking at ways to improve on the experience.
