Yeah, recruiting has finally kicked in. Reality check for all of us (well, most of us, anyway). It's kinda tough when you are trying to attend those on top of reading cases and generally doing everything you were doing upto a week ago (when you were already busy), but on the other hand it's exciting.

Btw, the list is only this week's. There's presentations every day all the way into December, 3 shifts a day + the other ones that you network into (which aren't part of the list).

Working on something related to Manila. Guys in Philippines see Wipro, TCS, Infy as Indian giants. Funny, but true :wink:

Hi folks.

I've just started my R2 HBS app and was wondering if y'all can provide any insight into the cross-cultural essay? I've got one example i'd like to use about a recent stint i spent working with field technicians, which was super different from the office work i've been doing for the past 4 years.

Any idea if this would be a good topic, or is it better that I focus on an international experience?

HBS is becoming an increasingly India-friendly place. According to India's Economic Times, HBS's class of 2008 will be the first one ever in which Indians constitute the largest bloc of non-U.S. students, at 36 (out of 900 total students per class). Traditionally, Canada has had the largest non-U.S. representation, and indeed HBS's class of 2007 includes 39 Canucks (versus 38 Indians), more than any other nationality, save Americans. The dominance India achieves with the HBS class of 2008 will be extended with the 2009 class: 38 Indians to 35 Canadians.

I think it only refers to Indian citizens. If you visit HBS there is a high % of Indians, but not all are Indian citizens.
