No K-flag for you? I interned with a girl who went there and she was one of the most conniving people around, they clearly teach the necessary skills there.

Maybe if you'd have done something with your body hair? Not to sound ghey or anything, but the pollen count in NYC of 873 has rendered me somewhat useless over the last couple days. I'm gonna figure out the contest over the weekend (and might even buy an iPad for myself so I don't have to trudge upstairs all the time to check the market, so I can get the sleep I deserve).

That's a pretty fat chunk of change...I generally try to make fun of most b-school decisions because it's usually pretty hard to make the math work (two years off work plus $150k in debt generally means you have to take some soulless job for several years to break even). So if UoP opens up job opportunities you otherwise wouldn't have that will make up the cash expense plus any opportunity costs, it's prob worth it. You will always get shit for online MBA though - if you didn't have to go through a team building exercise in the woods, did it really happen? $40k?

See if I buy my snuggies and Screech memorabilia through this site again. no, really, what's wrong with it? I'm a couple of classes in and it seems to be a little tougher (and a lot more expensive) then expected. Hope it's not $40k pissed away. Let the ridicule ensue. okay, what the hell is wrong with UofP?! See if I buy my snuggies and Screech memorabilia through this site again.

no, really, what’s wrong with it? I’m a couple of classes in and it seems to be a little tougher (and a lot more expensive) then expected.

I plan to get arrested with a Wastedpotentialz.com T-shirt on. I think I'll make national news by protesting for LESS regulation on big banking. I plan on getting on NBC Nightly News and telling Brian Williams that I think it's totally cool that the $50K in home equity that I lost last year went to pay I-Banker's salaries and bonuses. I was in the half that didn’t get any :(

And no, I'm not a phoenix. I forgot that I also had a brazilian chick on my team who got divorced at the end of the first year and slept with half of the class the second year.

Pretty impressive, and sounds like a strong crew. Sounds like you played the stupid American role with a real pimp hand. I didn’t realize that you had team members with a 24 hr online MBA?

My first team at my prestigous Biz School was made up of myself, two Indian Students who refused to buy textbooks (and wanted to copy mine), a girl who hadn't ever used Excel, and dude from China who didn't speak english. Fun times. This post brought back memories.
