My purpose is not to scare you, but to prepare you. On the other hand, the students at the GSB are supportive, team-oriented, and cooperative. This means that first-year students are not allowed to disclose their grades to recruiters. Other schools, such as Stanford, Wharton, and Harvard, also have similar grade non-disclosure policies. Chicago is on the quarter system, with each quarter being 10 weeks long.
Time goes by very fast.
Just as I was beginning to adjust to being a student again, I realized that midterms were coming up. As you well know, when you are thrown into the water, you find ways to swim. Needless to say, my learning curve took a sharp upswing in the two weeks before midterms. You have to be selective. The one consolation is that everyone else is in the same boat.
