My fiance who is 24 recently got accepted and will be attending HBS. I myself am 24 and was curious how big of a role I will play, i.e. drinking with her section and so on, and what to expect as a male partner? I will also be attending an MBA program in Boston at […]
Hi Mr. Harvard MBA, love your blog. Sorry for a slightly longer question, but this is about my college/life and is both important to me and also utterly confused me as to what to do. Basically, I go to a pretty good University. Actually, one of the best in my country. I’m doing Computer Science […]

I am not a finance expert (except for when […]
