World MBA Tour: The horror! The horror!
After a very stressing day (negotiation meeting starting at 10.30 and ending at 20.00) I drove for 30 minutes to visit the World MBA Tour in Lisbon. After all, I wanted to meet some future LBS coleagues and some people from their staff.
I entered the room where the schools were, started looking around and didn't find LBS. Nor IESE. "Well", I thought, "they must be somewhere in another room." That was when I found my Bocconi interviewer (yes, Bocconi was there) and discovered that LBS and IESE weren't at the event! What the fuck?!?! After this extremely tiring day I came here for nothing??
Talking about disappointments! Why didn't LBS send someone to this event? Please don't tell me that they have too much work at this time. So do I, and I was there. And what about the other schools? INSEAD was there (and their stand was packed with prospective students, obviously). So was IMD, Bocconi, IE, Tuck, Kellogg, ESADE, etc.
And pleeeaaaase don't tell me that the portuguese market doesn't deserve it! LBS has a portuguese teacher. INSEAD has a portuguese teacher and had, not many years ago, a portuguese dean! Is this is how LBS wants to keep the first place in the FT european rankings!?!
Man, I am pissed off! And very disappointed. And dying for the Open weekend in June to show them my disappointment!

So sorry to hear you made that trip for nothing.... :-(
I've got mixed feelings about the MBA-tour-thing, I like the idea of being able to get a good feel for a lot of schools, but I also saw/experienced so many rude and impolite people shoving CV's in anyone who thought they were adcom's faces....
