Should you sell or rent? (Excel model)

  • August 2, 2016August 1, 2017

This past year a family I know was looking to downsize, and with the market at such a high water mark in their area, they thought now might be the best time to make their next move.

GSB TLAs

Letters to Live By – GSB Acronyms

I was first exposed to the acronym culture as an undergraduate. While I did not have the pleasure of attending Stanford, I was involved with a Stanford undergrad while I attended Santa Clara. There were times when I would be listening to a conversation and quite literally have no idea what was being said.

Now, two years later, these acronyms have worked their way into conversations with my SO, so engrained in my mind that they are no longer acronyms, but the only name I know them by. With that past headache in mind, I’ll share some of those (as well as a couple of words that are not acronyms, but have worked their way into the GSB vocabulary) that come to mind.

Recruiting

TL;DR Everyone gets a job eventually

School at Stanford begins late September, much later than most due to its quarter-based schedule. A week before the MBA2s arrive, all MBA1s gather to participate in the obligatory “Week 0” festivities. For a few, this is their first introduction to new classmates. For most, there are a few familiar faces in the crowd of 400. Some knew others from work or from undergrad; and many met each other on the annual trip to Colombia a few months earlier.
