Welcome MBA13!

Dear MBA13 Students, Congratulations and Welcome to the RSM MBA! Thinking back to that first week, I am very jealous of you all. Sitting here at my parent’s farm back in Australia, it seems like such a long time ago now. But it was only one year ago today since we, MBA12, started to get [...]

MBA first term highlights

MBA12 – A new chapter cometh

Endless hours going through rankings from various business publication, endless hours of going through Business school profiles, endless hours of compiling spreadsheets of various Business schools, endless hours of preparing for the GMAT.
