!MBA Musings (on Fund Raising)

by Megan M. on December 15, 2008 (Blog) |

I’ve been thinking a lot about this.

I don’t like “fund raising”. I don’t like asking for something without giving something—or more—in return. (As you might have gathered.) I don’t like the obnoxious overtones it often takes on—even when obnoxious overtones are being specifically avoided!) and I don’t like what it does to people. It sometimes [...]

I waffled on this one. I want to tell you how you can support ANY applicant, not just me. But my situation differs pretty widely from the situation of many, many others, and there’s no way for me to know how my needs match up to someone else’s. There’s also this: If I don’t ask [...]

Alternate MBA Manifestation: Asking For What I Want

by Megan M. on December 8, 2008 (Blog) |
