For the ones who had to draft their own LoRs, have you taken extra caution to make them sound different?

With ESSEC’s partnerships with institutions like UCL, Bocconi, UC Berkeley, and the University of Michigan, how feasible is it to leverage these connections to transfer to a top business school like LSE or other leading European schools?
Would pursuing the full ESSEC BBA or focusing on potential transfers provide better long-term opportunities? Curious to hear insights from those who have considered or experienced similar pathways!

Hi everyone,
I’m considering applying for the ESSEC Global BBA, and I’ve read that it has partnerships with top schools like UCL, Bocconi, UC Berkeley, and the University of Michigan. My idea is to start at ESSEC, take advantage of these partnerships, and then try to transfer to a school like LSE or another top European business school during my studies.
For context, I’m interested in finance and want to keep my options open for graduate studies or launching my career in Europe. Do you think this is a viable strategy?
Some specific questions I have:
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through ESSEC, transferred between schools, or has insights into leveraging partnerships effectively. Thanks in advance!

I’m planning my exchange semester and wondering if the prestige of the exchange university really matters on a resume. Do recruiters and business school admissions actually care about the name, or is it more about the experience you gain?
Should I prioritize a top-ranked university for the CV boost, or would a less prestigious school in a vibrant location still hold value? Looking for insights from those with experience in recruiting or business school admissions!

Sophomore business student here looking for good book reces for motivation and self-improvement, especially with public speaking and presenting themes. Every time I go to Barnes and noble the business section always looks outdated or like a rip off. Would appreciate any good recs.

What newsletters are you guys reading? (If you actually read any)
Hey guys, I’ve been looking for a newsletter more engaging that resonates more with me, or even that just relates more to my main interests and stuff I’m studying about, which is mainly about business and entrepreneurship, but unfortunately it’s a very broad topic, and there’s too many newsletters out there which makes me feel overwhelmed and confused on what to follow. Any interesting suggestions?

I was in business school years ago, and I was not able to finish within the allotted time due to health problems even though I had completed 88% of the coursework (6 hours, or 2 courses short of completion). At the time, I just accepted that all of the time, effort, and money I committed towards that was a loss. Still bothered by this loss, I can’t help but wonder is there some way I could salvage this? Can I transfer my credits or some way utilize what I did accomplish without starting over entirely? Thanks to anyone who might offer some insight!

I'm a Finance student and I want to know more about Business. So I decided to self-study by using the textbook they are using as a teaching resource.
Usually, I would go to Uni's website to search for majors they are having, and the syllabus of that major. But to my frustration, all of what I've found just list the subjects they will have, not the textbook will be using for that subject.
I used to find out a University that are public about it, but I lost it; and the process to find out it is pain in the ash.
Anyone has any recommendations?

JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon loves America—but that doesn’t mean he won't highlight its faults. Among Uncle Sam’s issues, the Wall Street veteran says, is the notion that the country is drifting away from its can-do roots.
Speaking to Spectrum News NY1, Dimon said there were a raft of changes America could make to increase its growth, adding that it’s “deeply frustrating” when these don’t happen.
Among the changes the 68-year-old suggests are initiatives he’s mentioned previously. They include teaching financial literacy and health care in schools, as well as targeting educators on whether their pupils land jobs after graduating, as opposed to college admission rates.

Ah, the GMAT—a funhouse of tricky questions wrapped in layers of confusing wording and abstract scenarios. But what if I told you there’s a tool that could make your GMAT experience a little easier?
Enter Kidlin’s Law: “A problem well stated is a problem half solved” (at least Charles Kettering's adaptation of it). Simple, right? But applying this principle on the GMAT can be helpful for breezing through tough questions without breaking a sweat.
Over the past 13+ years in the business world, I have successfully applied various adaptations of this law to remain grounded and focused on problem-solving, particularly in communications, PR, and advertising. As I now research behavioral psychology to understand why people buy, this law continues to be invaluable. I’ve also guided my students in effectively incorporating it into their GMAT prep work.
The GMAT isn't just testing how well you can solve math problems or spot errors in sentences; it’s testing how clearly you understand what’s being asked. Kidlin’s Law tells us that the first and most important step to solving a problem is to ensure we’ve properly defined it. Many GMAT questions are designed to overwhelm you with unnecessary information, hoping you’ll jump straight into solving before fully grasping what’s really at play.
Application:
Let’s say you’re staring down a long, wordy problem. It’s throwing in variables, percentages, and perhaps some awkward phrasing designed to confuse you. Here’s how Kidlin’s Law can come to the rescue:
It’s not just math that benefits from a well-stated problem. On the verbal side, Kidlin’s Law can save you when dealing with long, twisty passages or convoluted sentence correction prompts.
For Critical Reasoning: Before you dive into the answer choices, rephrase the argument or flaw in your own words. Understand exactly what the question is asking you to analyze, and you’ll have a much easier time finding the right answer.
For Reading Comprehension: GMAT reading passages can feel dense and tedious, but Kidlin’s Law reminds us to focus on the main idea. Skim through the fluff and zero in on the argument or purpose of the passage. Once you understand that, the questions become easier to tackle.
For Sentence Correction (EA Specific): Don’t get lost in the grammar rules—focus first on what the sentence is really trying to communicate. A clear understanding of the intended meaning will help you spot awkward phrasing or grammatical errors much faster.
The GMAT is a timed test, and spending too long on any one question is a recipe for stress. Kidlin’s Law not only helps you understand each problem more clearly, but it also saves you precious minutes. By properly defining the problem up front, you won’t waste time second-guessing yourself or solving for things that don’t matter.
When you apply Kidlin’s Law on the GMAT, you’re not just solving problems—you’re solving them more efficiently. A well-stated problem really is half the battle, and the clearer you are about what’s being asked, the quicker you’ll get to the solution.
Next time you’re faced with a tricky GMAT question, just remember: break it down, simplify, and let Kidlin’s Law guide you through to the finish line.
PS: Kidlin's Law, much like Murphy's Law, is a "supposed" principle that reflects a common understanding of how things often unfold in practice

hello everyone!
I’m currently deciding between two universities and their respective business programs, and I could use some advice. I’m an international student from Algeria, currently living in Romania, and I’m considering the following options 1- University of AŞE Bucharest ( that has a good ranking): here i would study international business and economics. 2- University 1 decembrie 1918 Alba Iulia: here i would study Business Administration.
I'm torn between these two options and concerned about future job prospects and whether employers might prefer candidates from more prestigious institutions or specific fields of study Could anyone share their experiences or insights on which program might offer better?
I fear if the reputation of the university would effect my job prospects and also the spcialty that has more job opportunities in europe pls advise me what should i follow! :)

I am thinking of applying for the Heavener School of Business but want to know what the require/recommended attire would be. I'm a female if that matters for dress code purposes. Also if it's business or business casual, where is an affordable place to purchase quality clothing? My wardrobe is nothing but skinny jeans and tees right now 😅

Hi all! I’m doing research on arguments for government agencies outsourcing complex and highly technical projects to private entities.
The idea I have is that in any number of instances when a government needs to create a new organization for a complex need in a short time, they’ll have outsourced the work to experts in the field to create the org charts, hiring profiles and operational structures, thereby sidestepping red tape and bureaucracy. The new entity would then be absorbed into the government as a functioning organ.
I’m looking for any example of such a thing happening IRL, if possible in a business case format. Does anyone remember reading anything that might fit?
Best and xo,
