MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

When I visitied MIT this one kid explained to me that most of his classmates did one of two things, they would either: (1) bust their tails all week long, lots of studying, which left them with free weekends to travel or to socialize or (2) socialize during the week, lots of extra-curriculars and club stuff, relax some evenings and then just study a lot on the weekends.
Have you all heard similar things? I like the idea of working hard during the week and then having the weekend to forget school as much as possible and do weekend trips w/ classmates to go snowboarding or to explore the city.
But I've also heard of some people who eat and breathe school and they say that every second of every day is taken up with something school related. What are you all expecting as you head to school this Fall?

I'm expecting more of the latter, i.e. just about every second of the day is taken up by something b-school related. I'm planning on getting really involved in a couple organizations, so I expect their responsibilities will take up a majority of my "free" time. I also would like to go to as many events as possible, such as guest presentations, just to soak up the cumulative MBA experience.
I think it will end up being similar to college: you can get by doing the bare minimum, and you can get by doing everything under the sun. It depends on how highly you value your free time.

I assume it will vary by individual. I think the common thought is that trying really hard to get top grades in your class is not the best use of time but you can be sure that some people will slave away day and night and weekend to try to get the best grades.
In know from experience that at professional school (law school for me), networking and participating in activities are extremely valuable; and I would surmise that this is exponentially true at business school. So, if you choose to study your ass off on the weekends, you won't be alone. But if you choose to participate in club events (professional and social), and get involved in other activities, the connections you make and experiences you have might be more valuable than a slightly higher grade.
