Admit Weekend 2

AW2 was cool. We had over 300 admitted students touring the new building and sitting in on classes. There was definitely more energy in the Winter Garden. We tried our best to absorb some of the excitement radiating off of the admits to use for our midterms. It’s like getting power pellets in video games. The admits were cool, and I’m looking forward to meeting some new people in the fall.
LEAD is heating up and we have a lot to learn before giving our first presentation on May 13th. It is getting interesting. I actually understood one of my Financial Statement Analysis classes. I like the professor a lot, but I have never claimed to be fond of accounting. I decided to take the class to challenge myself to get more exposure to a topic I loathe, but know I will see more of in the future.

I am really enjoying Supply Chain. I’m not sure if it is really interesting as much as it is familiar. It is the second class that I’ve felt very confident about knowing the material. The professor has an absent-minded professor thing going, which is actually entertaining. I always appreciate an academic who values the real world application and is willing consider your opinion. We also did this awesome simulation based on forecasting production demand considering both holding and inventory costs. It was a great way to get the concept and see a high level application of the material.
