I would like to add that I have been in the shoes of an applicant recently and I would have loved to get a stranger's or a third person perspective on my essays. I did get help from my friends but they came back saying that they knew me well enough to not provide a meaningful information. I think this is a great idea and we can definitely take advantage of it and help it move forward beyond the 48 hours.

Sorry for skepticism guys, but I am as a former auditor and current moderator must be cautious Guys I have been contacted by one of the students and the person provided me with his/her e-mail.

By the way - I think Ross School of Business at University of Michigan is probably the BEST business school for primarily ONE REASON - the people. People make companies go round. People make the world go round. I think UMICH is the best business school in the WORLD.
Love the team comraderie - I'm so happy to see this!

Great idea section 2! For prospective applicants: This is a great cause and a fun challenge offered to the 6 incoming sections of FT MBA students at Ross this year. Each section is trying to raise as much money as possible, so please take these talented MBA's up on their offer and donate to a great cause. (Full Disclosure - I'm in a competing section and won't benefit from your donations)
