Q3 is your friend

I think I have said this a number of times. But I am telling you, that Q3 is your friend. If you come to Rotman, and work your butt off for the first two quarters, and the first bit of January in recruiting, the class aspect of Q3 is your friend.

One thing I love about Rotman, and my class in particular is that we are still going out in pretty big groups. The general theme is that while we have different groups forming, they all kind of blend at the edges, and everyone generally gets along. This is really impressive. Our second years told us that by January the consulting and finance groups form, and so on. While that is true, we spend more time with people going after similar jobs because you are attending the same events and studying together, and rooting for each other during recruiting.

Something to keep in mind, the student body - whether you like it or not - becomes your family. By spending as much time at school as we do, and as much time together as we inevitably do - it has to happen. So meet people, get to know your classmates (and potential classmates) and the previous years class as well.

My two cents for the day brought to you by tomorrow's intra MBA fund raiser in which we have run out of tickets because there is an overwhelming interest!
