The Buzzzz

MBABuzz.com

Have you been bitten by the buzz yet? :-) The site went up about a week ago and has since gained a lot of traffic. (Here, I'm already thinking of: 1) Data of their # of applicants over the time period in correlation with 2) their advertising techniques and strategy. Perhaps the next MBA case study? *grins*)

The best feature you should check out? THE PLOTTER. You can visually see yourself against other applicants based on the factors of your gmat and gpa scores. Sure it only involves 2 key data points, but it may still help give you a perspective of what you're up against. (From a developer's perspective, I think it's great that each datapoint is linkable to the user's profile.)

They've been really great in featuring my site this week! Thanks again, mbabuzz! And I know they are interested in featuring other applicant blogs, so check them out if you haven't already.

Good lord - you surprised me with the Cornell invite! I'm sorry for Cornell that they suck at yield management ;-)

Oops - almost forgot - very best for the S interview. I'm sure you'll ace it.

Congrats on Cornell!

Also, thanks for blogging about us! However, I did want to let you know that you can display more than 2 data points on the plotter: use the drop downs located at the bottom of the plotter to change what datapoints you want to graph (ie. age, extra curriculars, interview score, etc) Also, click on a couple of the checkboxes; those are dynamic as well!

Good luck, and we look forward to reading more of your great blog.

cheers,

Good luck with your Stanford interview.

So far I have used admissions411.com to waste my time. Now I'll add mbabuzz to the list as well :)
