A typical busy day at business school....

Finishing up by 10:30 seems quite good...

That's a self imposed limit. I could easily work until midnight or after, but I also know that if I don't get enough sleep I'll just end up getting sick.

I aim for 8 hours of sleep a night and that way, if something comes up, I can always get by on 4 or 5 hours if need be. You don't always get a chance to catch up.

brandon, I really enjoy the fact you decided to attend only 1 class those two days

Classes are 3 hours long, once/week, with a typical load being 3-4 classes. I like having classes back-to-back and the rest of the week free, so it's not uncommon to have days "off."

Hey, good time mangement, keep it up

Just wanted to point out that "talk to Tuck alumni who works at" should actually be alumnus (singular male) or alumna (singular female). Alumni is plural.

Except that alumnae is actually plural female, and alumna is for singular female.

Source: took Latin in high school and still remember first declension.

That was a typo. Whoops. I guess that's what I get for trying to be pretentious haha.

That's good to know

I couldn't help it with the 52 score on your Quant, good job! I always thought 51 was the max.

On another note, please keep up with this thread. I enjoy it

good post thanks refurb for giving us an idea of how the life will be during the mba
