Whether you get the job or not is entirely dependent on luck, education, and experience. The Bliss of Being a Second Year Now that the job search is over, B-school life consists of doing some quality work and endless partying. No more worrying about the next job interview, and no more stressing out over the next case due for finance class. This is the life that an MBA student should live for. Whenever you walk into the Wharton MBA pub, there are numerous friends waiting to tell you how much they are trying to do the minimum possible and how much more sleep they are getting.
Senior slump is certainly the rage.
I, for one, have done a great deal more procrastinating than I did last year. There were quite a few occasions when I would lament to friends about how unwilling I was to build another spreadsheet model.

But if you listen to the conversation long enough you would realize that the busy-ness is caused mostly by the time conflicts of going to too many parties. Working-out has taken precedence over team meetings.
