Time Flies
Time flies when you’re having fun…
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost December already. It seems like just yesterday I was moving to Ann Arbor, settling in, and starting my MBA. Almost two whole quarters have passed and finals week is fast approaching once again. Scary.
With the semester, the recruiting courting season is also ending and IBankers like myself are desperately awaiting for invites for the more intimate dinners with recruiters. It all reminds me a lot of popularity contests in middle school. Invitations usually come out at night and the next day all you hear in the hallways is: “did you get invited to this event?”, “I can’t believe they didn’t invite me!”, “I thought this bank really liked me!”, “I wonder if they have more invitations to send out?!?!”, “I’ll never get a job!”, “Boohoo!” The prospect of a recession just makes the whole ordeal a lot worse. There’s a lot of speculation about how much and which banks are going to hire, and what the best places to focus your energy are. All of us have also started thinking about Plan B, in case the IBanking thing doesn’t work out this time.
Next week I’ll be taking another trip, this time to the west coast to visit some banks and try to get in some lists for interviews. Thinking back, this coming weekend will be one of only two which I spent in Ann Arbor this quarter, with case competitions, recruiting trips and Thanksgiving. These are busy times, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed and tired sometimes, but overall I’m having a great time and above all learning a ton.
The winter has definitely set in now. We had snow for the last two days, and the lows are approaching the teens. Brrrrrrr. One more reason to stay inside and take care of business!

Thanksgiving!
I love Thanksgiving! I am not American so I do not fully understand all the cultural traditions of it (I did not grow with it every year), but I think I can get a good sense of it. People change moods, get nicer and friendlier I can fell the importance of the date and the gathering. Not to mention the food that is amazing. This is my third Thanksgiving and the more I experience it the more I like.
This was the first time I truly experienced a Black Friday. I did not know that this is the day to go shopping; stores sell goods with a lot of discount. My friends and I went to an outlet an hour from Ann Arbor. The detail is that we arrived there half past midnight and there was a lot of traffic and happy people shopping. Although it was already cold we had so much fun that when we realized it was 5:00am. After the outlet we decided to go to the mall, and I ended up arriving home at 9:30am. That was cool. I bought some cool and cheap stuff, but hanging out with my friends was the most interesting part of it. I just loved to sleep the entire Saturday. I decided not to travel because I have been traveling a lot and I want to take some time to chill out and enjoy Ann Arbor and my friends.
This week is being particularly busy mostly because of the recruiting process. If you want to go to consulting, be prepared to do case interview. In fact I am seeing a lot of value in doing this preparation, as you do develop more your business skills. It is timing consuming but it is worthwhile. The other good point is to see how the school and the consulting club help you prepare for it.
The end of the semester is approaching and it is getting busy. Today we had the first MAP info session and I am curious to see the projects list. I am looking forward to starting it.

Broken nose
Hello All,
I have to admit, these past two weeks have been the toughest so far here at Ross. Since my last post, my soccer team and I won the intramural tournament, which meant having to beat undergraduate students in the final (not an easy task for a bunch of twenty-somethings). Given the success our team had, someone suggested we play indoor soccer. I had played once or twice before, and remember it being somewhat the same. Boy… was I in for a surprise. The following Friday night we face off against a team of older (40-something) guys who are really in shape and are looking to beat us bad. About 5 minutes into the second period, a guy charges at me, I square up to cover the net and we collide. As we fall, I catch an elbow right in the face and end up breaking my nose.
Luckily, my wife had gone with me to watch the game and she drove me to the emergency room. Saturday and Sunday were pretty bad. My face was really swollen and both my eyes were purple. The verdict at the emergency room was that I would need surgery to reset my nose, but that would not happen for a week since my nose was too swollen. Monday morning, broken nose and black eyes, I present with my marketing team our project for the semester. Needless to say the first question asked was not about our presentation but about my swollen, stuffy, purple face. Any way, our presentation actually went very well. This actually finally brings me to my point and the “takeaway” for this post. It amazed me how many calls, e-mails and text messages I got from my classmates offering help and checking up to see how I was feeling. This close (almost family-like) network of people here at Ross is truly amazing. I learned a lot about the kind of people that come to Ross (and missed out on a little marketing which I’ll make up for later) and what you can expect to receive from a group of people you have only known for about 8 weeks.

Thanksgiving is over and it’s back to school!
Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it is back to school work. I had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with my family. I was starting to get a little homesick so seeing my family was extremely nice and comforting. I was also able to take a small break from school for awhile to catch up on some much needed rest though. The days before Thanksgiving were absolutely busy but that’s what I expected being here so no complaints.
Now that we are back from the break there are officially two weeks left of classes. I cannot believe how fast my classes have flown by. In about three more weeks I will be taking finals and then headed back home for the Christmas Break. I have an important Marketing assignment due this week in class so my group has been meeting for a while to work on the project. We are analyzing the current marketing strategy for the Sony BRAVIA HDTVs and determining a new solution for them to increase their market share. Its so amazing how we are able to take real situations and make recommendations – action based learning at its best!
Recruiting is still in full swing. I was assigned a MBA2 mentor through the BBSA who interned at Google this past summer to help me go through the recruiting process. It has been extremely helpful so far and really shows the collaborative nature at Ross. I finally have a listing of 8 companies that I am targeting. OCD suggests 8-10, so I think I am in the middle range. Besides, the more companies that I choose, the more research, interviewing, etc, etc, etc. I will have to do. I can almost compare this situation to when I was applying to business schools and recognizing more applications does not necessarily mean greater returns and that it’s best to focus my energies on a smaller number of companies so that I can increase my chances of success by knowing much more about the companies.
I am now trying to determine the exact division of the companies that I am interested in and also how the Product Management and Marketing role differs at the various companies. Since I am interested in high-tech companies with a consumer focus and products, it will be extremely important and allow me to standout a little if I emphasize this in my cover letter and resume. I will be attending the Marketing Symposium on Thursday and Friday of this week to learn more about Marketing and also the various roles at different companies. It will be a great opportunity to have some face time with the recruiters. I will include the highlights from this in my next blog.
So it just started snowing in Ann Arbor and that totally caught me by surprise yesterday while heading out for a group meeting. Being from Georgia we rarely get snow if at all so this is very exciting yet I am clueless about what to expect from now on!
Well I’m off to finish my Marketing Presentation. Go Blue!

Break!
Thanksgiving break is this week and I am excited be home and relax. I plan on catching-up on emails and working on scholarship applications, so it there is some work to get done though. And I also plan on looking for a ski house to rent in Stowe, VT for New Year’s. We decided to get a group together and go snowboarding for a week during Winter Break. I had a ski house in Killington, VT when I lived in New York, and I am excited to be able to go back there even for a little while and to share Vermont with friends from Ross. It is the thing that I miss the most about being in the Midwest, no mountains. But luckily the breaks provide lots of opportunities to go back to Vermont and to go out West.
I brought a classmate who is from Nigeria home with me for Thanksgiving. It is fun to share all the American traditions with him. In fact, we are watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as I write this. We are going to make a pumpkin pie later for him to take back to Ann Arbor and share with his roommate. He never had anything pumpkin before and it is hard to explain to someone what pumpkin tastes like, but he tried a pumpkin cookie and liked it.
When I get back to Ross we only have three more weeks and then it is Winter Break. I might write this in every Blog, but I can’t believe how quickly B-School is going. I love every moment of the experience and Ross is a great place to be. I might even do a dual-degree program just so that I don’t have to leave next year! Hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving holiday. Until next time…

End of first term and fall break
As I mentioned in my previous post, the time is flying by! In a blink of an eye, the first semester came to an end. Looking back on the term, I am astounded by depth of the class discussions, the number of corporate presentations, the close bonds I have developed with my classmates, and of course by the fact that Michigan football team still has a chance to win the Big Ten and go to the Rose Bowl!
The fall break (professional development week) provided a great opportunity to MBA1s to gain deeper understanding of various career paths through forums targeting finance, marketing, high-tech, and emerging markets. The forums were set-up by the various clubs at Ross. They allowed students to visit various companies to get firsthand knowledge of the differences in companies and their cultures. Additionally, the forums allowed the students to spend some time in New York City, Washington DC, and San Francisco. Here are the various forums that were held over the fall break:
West Coast Forum
Forum focused on high-tech companies in the bay area. Students spent two days listening to informative keynote speakers, discussing career opportunities with recruiters and alumni, and taking company tours. Here is a list of a few of the companies at the forum: Agilent, Amazon.com, Apple, Cisco Systems, eBay, Genentech, Google, Intel, and Microsoft.
Wall Street Forum
Forum provided students the opportunity to hear from leaders in the finance community, network with alumni and industry figures, and visit the major investment banks. Here is a list of a few of the companies at the forum: JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Bear Sterns, and Goldman Sachs.
Marketing Forum
Forum provided the students an opportunity to spend two days visiting and networking with companies in New York City/New Jersey. Here is a list of a few of the companies at the forum: Pepsi, Unilever, and American Express.
Emerging Markets Forum
Forum focused on Base of the Pyramid and emerging markets. Students visited and networked with various companies in Washington DC area. Here is a list of a few of the companies at the forum: International Finance Corporation, The World Bank, Ashoka, World Resources Institute, and USAID.
Well, I am off to prepare for my Finance exam! I need to get jump on the studying with the BIG GAME this weekend…Look out Ohio State! Hoping to make plans for Pasadena next week! GO BLUE!!!!

Almost half way
Yes the Mid terms arrived! Usually this is one of the busiest weeks in the term. But we do survive well and to celebrate the end of it this Thursday we are going to have the B-school rock concert. It seems to be very good and I am positive we will have a lot of fun. I want to see a colleague of mine who sings pretty well--she does rock and other colleagues who have played in band. After the concert we are going to get together in a bar to keep celebrating.
Changing subjects, let me talk a bit of the Wolverine Venture Fund (WVF). It is indeed an excellent opportunity, which I recommend for people who have interest in either VC or finance. The group is very good. We divide the students in group of 7 to 8 students. Usually 2 or 3 of them are MBA 2s who are the leaders. My team is brand new, the CleanTeam and we focus on Clean Tech ventures (renewable energy, solar, wind, water, green materials and so forth).
I had no previous experience on VC or finance. But the students have very complementary backgrounds which enhance the discussions. On top of it we have three Bootcamp sessions that cover a lot of VC and finance, so everyone can learn the skills that are missing. We are going to start doing real due diligence and I am looking forward to starting to work on a start-up project.
On top of it, I have to say WVF students rock. I just love to get together with them, such a bright, energetic, fun and motivated group of people! It is very fulfilling to belong to this group, and I am very proud. Our professor and fund manager, Tom Kinnear, has a lot of experience which he is sharing with all of us. He is an excellent coach. I am sure I will learn a lot about VC, due diligence, valuations, but more than that I will learn a lot from working with my colleagues, I am sure I will also learn about people. WVF is a differentiator of Ross.
The following week will be short due to Thanks Giving, time to rest, travel, and have fun!

Bring on the Buckeyes!
It’s been an exciting couple of weeks here; earlier this afternoon, I finished up a team presentation for my marketing class. That’s one big project out of the way for the semester, and though I’m not focused on marketing for my career, I really enjoyed the project, partly because our focus was a startup company called TerraCycle Inc. (http://www.terracycle.net/). TerraCycle makes fertilizer projects, among other things, and they have a very interesting business model in that they take organic waste, turn it into fertilizer, and then package the product in recycled material. Check out their website (link above), where you’ll find links to a bunch of interesting articles about the company.
There were a ton of great events on campus again this week, starting with a live interactive video conference call with GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt. Then on Tuesday, Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman William Clay Ford, Jr. came to campus to give a talk titled “The Road to Sustainable Transportation,” in which he discussed the opportunities and challenges facing the auto industry specifically, and the U.S. in general, in building toward a sustainable transportation system. I was unable to participate in the Jeff Immelt event, but did make it to the Bill Ford’s presentation.
I mentioned in an earlier posting that I’m a dual degree student at the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, and it’s really been great that I have been able to weave sustainability topics into the core curriculum at Ross. I didn’t necessarily expect to have as much opportunity, especially in Fall A and Fall B, because all students (unless you happen to waive out of a class or two) take core classes such as finance, accounting, strategy, and marketing. However, I did a strategy group project on the wind energy industry and the marketing project mentioned above on a company that’s very focused on sustainability. So while course requirements certainly dictate your first 14 weeks at school, there is plenty of opportunity to study particular areas of interest (and to attend lectures like the one Bill Ford delivered yesterday).
OK, enough business for now. Let’s talk football. Ohio State comes to town this weekend to play the Wolverines for the Big Ten championship, and ESPN’s College GameDay apparently will be broadcasting from Ann Arbor. I’m picturing a fairly low-key atmosphere. I live in a house with 7 people, and we’re planning on hosting a coffee and muffin party starting at 9am. Anyway, I’m hoping to see a whole lot of this at the game:
1.) Take that!
Go Blue!

Busy times!
Wow! The workload of classes, recruiting and other activities finally caught up to me! I’ve been sleeping very little lately, and still feel like I’m struggling to keep up! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, after all, that’s what I’m here for, but wow.
Last week I was very busy preparing for a Corporate Restructuring competition sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institution and Houlihan Lokey. The competition was amazing, the panels of judges were filled with MD’s and executives from banks, funds and other institutions, and we even got to have lunch with the CEO of Houlihan Lokey, Jeff Werbalowsky. It was a great learning experience and I’m sure the knowledge I gathered at this event will help me a lot in my future career.
This week I’m going to miss a few classes and go to NY for some informational interviews. I have four of them scheduled for Thursday, which will make for a very full day. It is quite expensive to have to travel to visit banks, but the networking process is one of the most important parts of investment banking recruiting. Most banks won’t closed list people they haven’t met. I already have a trip to the west coast scheduled for December to meet other banks and try to increase my chances of getting a position in a Technology coverage group.
In addition to case studies and recruiting, there are classes to deal with! I am taking leadership, marketing, options and futures, and valuation this term, and they are all super interesting. I really wish I had a lot more time to dedicate to them, but the MBA is above all a juggling act, and sometimes you have to choose which balls to drop.
It is also my wife’s birthday this weekend, so we’re going to take advantage of the fact that I have to be in NY to celebrate in the Big Apple. I am very fortunate that she is a good sport about all of this, and that she is supporting me through this process.

Midterms are here!
Midterms are here although sooner than wanted. We have a ton of assignments due this week and I am working to manage my schedule to complete them. It’s amazing how fast the term has been going. I feel like I just got back from fall break. I am enjoying my classes this term though. My favorite two courses are Marketing Management and World Economy. I am enjoying marketing since it is the area that I plan to enter after school. We are looking at the marketing framework called ‘The Big Picture’, which was developed by Christine Nordheim, a world renowned professor of Marketing at Ross. Its interesting to learn about the choices that must be made when engaging in marketing initiatives and the decisions that many companies face as I will soon be in that place. The other class that I’m really enjoying is World Economy. My professor Linda Lim is fantastic! We are learning about the global economy, its changes, and how we can make a difference.
Outside of classes, recruiting is really starting to ramp up. I attended two presentations today from the Office of Career Development (OCD) on how to best research a company and how to develop my positioning statement. OCD has been a great resource so far. I’ve attended many of the sessions and also participated in resume reviews and mock interviews. I am still pursuing Marketing and Human Resources and strongly considering interning for both. I have started to really narrow down my listing of companies, which is at about 10 right now.
I’ve spent the past couple of days speaking with alumni and 2nd year MBAs who have experience at the companies that I am interested. I am truly grateful for how helpful everyone has been. It’s not unexpected though since the collaborative nature of Ross fosters this. Also, collaboration is going to be extremely useful as interviews come up. I am forming a group with people that are interested in High-Tech Marketing and Human Resources so that we can share resources and information that we receive about companies.
My birthday is on Wednesday and I look forward to celebrating with my new friends at Ross. This weekend is the Ohio State game and is going to be a huge weekend at Michigan. I am sad that I will miss the game since I will be at a recruiting event, however I will look forward to catching it next year.

They said we'd be busy...
These past few days have been insanely busy but equally rewarding and exciting. On Wednesday I visited Baxter in Chicago with several other MBAs to learn about Baxter’s Marketing internship. We got to meet with alumni at Baxter and talk with them one-on-one extensively, which was probably the best part of the trip. I’m constantly amazed by the impact Ross alumni are having in the field. It’s one thing to read about hear about the stories, but another to actually meet and speak with people who are doing exactly what I hope to do when I graduate.
Thursday continued the ultra-packed schedule. It went something like this:
7AM – wake up to finish HW and reading
10:20 – 12:40 – Finance class
12:40 – 1:30 - Lunch was with the Dean, who wanted to hear how our (Sections 1 and 2) year’s going. It was really neat to have his audience.
1:30 – 2:10 – change into suit and send out some emails
2:10 – 3:30 – Organizational behavior class; I switched nametags with my friend Sam who sat next to me, and promptly forgot about it. Midway through class I raised my hand to answer a question and the professor called me, “Sam.” The entire class had a good laugh.
3:30 – left class early to prepare for the Abbott case presentation
4:00 – 4:30 – case presentation
4:30 – 5 – met up with fellow classmates to go to the Dean’s house for a Women’s Initiative event. Michigan definitely is very supportive of women in business and it’s cool to see this in action.
6PM, I returned to school for the case competition closure. My Abbott team finished second, so we got to wine and dine with the judges the West End Grill – fancy food. What a cool experience!
10PM – went to a grad-school mixer at Vinology, it was packed and I wish I could stay, but left soon after to crash.
Friday opened (another reason I went home early) with an early morning mock interview and a meeting with my marketing team to decide on what brand/company we were going to spend the next few weeks researching. We’re thinking of o.b. tampons which will be fun to present, but we’ll see on what the team votes on tomorrow.
It’s not all work and no play though! Friday night I attended an Ice Hockey game with a friend, and I had a great time. Having attended a small undergraduate college (the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY), attending Division I sports games has been a really cool perk to business school. Speaking of which, Ohio State is next weekend! Talk about once-in-the-lifetime experience!!
Highlights since last blog:
- Marketing professor IS all she’s hyped up to be
- Finance professor is CRAZY… he’s making finance really challenging but fun as well
- Trip to Chicago to visit Baxter and meet alumni
- Abbott Case competition
- Meeting new people, especially working with different people in case competitions and class projects
Lowlights:
- Interview season is about to hit!!!
- The chill’s definitely here
Looking forward to:
- Meeting more people
- Running and rock climbing more
- Section activities
- Marketing and Finance
- Ohio State game (I’m not even a football fan, but the experience should be one of those “once in a lifetime” deals)
- More case competitions!

The weekend cometh...
The week has been a busy one with lots of company presentations and group meetings, so I am looking forward to the weekend and kicking back. And since we don’t have class on Fridays the weekend starts tomorrow!
Things are going to start off with a dinner hosted by Michigan Business Women at the Dean Dolan’s house. Afterwards I am planning on going to the weekly MBA happy hour at Vineology. Each week the happy hour is hosted with another grad school, and this week it is with the School of Dentistry. Vineology is a local wine bar down on Main Street with a great wine list and amazing food, which rivals the wine bars in New York.
Even though we have Fridays off there are always tons of meetings and events to attend. This Friday I am going to attend a company presentation and then meet with my consulting case review team to start prepping for interviews. I can’t believe how quickly everything is going and that we already need to think about this stuff!
Saturday and Sunday are going to be dedicated to catching-up on work and hanging out with friends. My section is hosting a tailgate at Connor O’Neill’s, a local pub, to watch Michigan vs. Wisconsin. And then on Sunday I am planning on having some friends over for chili, beers, and football.
I can’t wait for the game against OSU on November 17. Ann Arbor is going to be a fun place to be that weekend. And a group of us actually have tickets for the Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants game that Sunday. If it isn’t obvious, I like football. University of Michigan is the best place to be for that. Go Blue!

Fall B Already!
I can’t believe that Fall Break came and went. I made the trip back to New York. It was fun to be back home and to hang out with friends from Ross in the City. I also managed to get some work done while I was there and met with representatives from Pfizer and American Express to discuss Summer Intern opportunities. Both of the reps that I met with were alumni of University of Michigan. The extensive alumni network definitely helped me with setting up the meetings. And the alumni pride always comes through!
Fall B is off to a strong start. We celebrated Halloween with a haunted hayride at a nearby orchard. Section 4 hosted the event with Section 6 and we capped the night off with a bonfire and hot cider. Fall is a beautiful time of year in Ann Arbor!
Of course there is lots of work to get done again this semester, but I think that I am now better prepared for it. In fact, I just worked all evening with a group on the first Finance 503 problem set. I love the collaboration that Ross fosters and it becomes so apparent when you can go down to the cafeteria at any point day or night and find someone to work things out with. The more time I spend here the more I appreciate the community and realize that I am making some great friends.
The collaboration is going to be crucial with interviews coming up. I decided to pursue consulting for the Summer, which means that I need to get started with practicing cases. But the Consulting Club helps walk you through all the steps leading up to the interview process, including lots of case prep. I know with all the resources available to me that I can succeed. I am looking forward to getting to know all the consulting firms as they come to Ross over the next couple of weeks.

Introduction from Candace
I came to Ross from New York City. When I was looking at schools I knew I wanted a break from New York and the busy city life. But I also knew that I would be bored and feel trapped in a place too small. The fact that Ann Arbor was a great place with a top business school made Ross a perfect fit. And all the people that I met and the information that I gained about the school reinforced that.
While in New York I worked for McKinsey & Company and Credit Suisse in Human Resources focusing on recruiting strategies. Now at Ross I am concentrating on opportunities in consulting for the summer. Classmates all have different career aspirations and I would say that no matter what you want to do you can find a second-year to mentor you.
The first few weeks of school have been fun, but tough. M-Trek gave me an excellent opportunity to get to know a small group of people before getting to Ross and eased the transition. The classes themselves move quickly and are interesting. But I would say the biggest challenge has been adjusting to new people and a new place. With the end of the first semester (which went so quick!) things are starting to settle into place and I am looking forward to Fall Break and the New York Forum. And I am excited for what the next few months will bring, including MAP!

Orientation and first semester at Ross
Everyone told me that time flies by at the business school…entering my third month at Ross, I totally agree. I feel like I barely had time to take a breath in the first two months and am already in my second term.
It all started with orientation at the end of August. The Ross Leadership Initiative was a major part of the orientation. We took part in many activities to develop teamwork, creativity, and innovation skills. Additionally, we volunteered for the “Greening of Detroit” and learned about the role of business in society. After the orientation, all sections competed in the MBA games. It was very interesting to see the competitive side of people come out on the athletic field. The activities in the first week definitely brought our entire class closer!
In the first term, all first year MBAs are required to take the core curriculum consisting of Corporate Strategy, Business Economics, Statistics, and Accounting in sections of 70 students taught by the premier faculty. My section, 5, has bonded in class and over various section outings planned by our social representatives. Some might say that I am biased but I firmly believe we have the best section!
In addition to the curriculum, clubs and recruiting activities took up majority of my time. Since most major firms recruit at Ross, there is at least one and most of the times multiple presentations daily for each career track. Furthermore, second year MBAs set up “Meet the Interns” lunch and dinners to provide MBA1s with insight into their internship search and summer experiences. These events are a priceless source to learn about firms and I know the first years appreciate the time second years take out during their busy recruiting time. How could I have a blog and not mention Michigan football? Michigan football home games are yet another great opportunity to connect with recruiters and Ross alumni because every home tailgate is sponsored by a company. So far this year, we have had Google, Target, Deloitte, and Bain as sponsors. What is better than building your network over burgers, hot dogs, beer, and talking about the mutual love of Michigan football? Nothing...okay maybe one thing...seeing Michigan win after the tailgate!
Hope to catch a breath soon...Till next time...
