Wow, I am ridiculously bored at work so I will start posting about trivial updates. I learned yesterday that the co-worker whom I met at the CBS Info Session in DC in september just got admitted! That is great news. We are planning on getting dinner/drinks sometime next week since we work from different client sites (I’m a lousy consultant for those who don’t remember). We might also meet up with another admit from DC whom I met through the forums. This will be fun because we’ll already have a bond, and then when we get to school next year, we’ll hopefully be able to introduce each other to our separate clusters/networks. Speaking of which, HappyBunny has a friend in NY who got admitted insanely early (mid-September) to CBS and I will be grabbing brunch with him on sunday. On a sidenote, I’m sure everyone’s noticed that HappyBunny has taken her blog down at least temporarily. She hadn’t found much that she wanted to blog about any more and I think she wanted to re-focus herself on the rest of her apps. But whatever the reason, maybe she’ll want to do a “guest blog post” on MBA Veggie some day 
So I am going back to NY this weekend. Taking friday off to do it too! I have a huge list of Columbia gear to purchase from the bookstore and I’ll probably stop by the Career Services office too to see what literature I can pick up. Otherwise, I’ll be basically meeting some old friends and co-workers (keeping the old work network alive plus I am genuinely excited to see some of my old buddies again). Might go out hard on saturday night. Just a quick 2 day trip.
Work is terribly boring, perhaps even moreso than it used to be which is hard to believe. But I am coping better with it as I’ve built up some immunity over all this time. Obviously I’m just cruising nowadays. I started thinking about where I will travel before school starts. My only international experiences have been to Taiwan, China, the Carribean, and Australia. I’m thinking maybe I can go back to Australia in January (it’s summer there) and London in early Summer. And hopefully San Francisco in mid-spring. Then I can still go on the pre-MBA World Tour with CBS students in July/August
So most of you know that BusinessWeek comes out with its MBA Rankings every two years. While I don’t think their list is as accurate as U.S. News’ list, it’s still interesting and garners tons of debate/discussion amongst the aspirant world so I was excited that I heard it was going to be released today. Apparently that is false. I emailed one of the BusinessWeek editors and she said that the magazine hits newstands next thursday, November 13th, and that the list won’t be released beforehand. Darn it.
Well I can’t wait and I am extremely bored at work, sooo…… I decided to create the first annual MBA Veggie Rankings for 2008 
This is based on my own biases and extremely subjective “research”. Yes, I am a believer in the “M7″ and I have no good reasons for some of the ranks I’ve listed below other than randomly guessing about programs that I do not know enough about (and am too lazy to research). Don’t flame me please- this is just for fun!
