I don’t think that HBS, or at least some of its departments, trust us. That’s disappointing.

Dear Mom, Well, it?s been a while since I wrote to you, and I wish I could say life was getting easier, but the three case days now seem to show up more often than the two case days, the temperature has dropped like my FRC grade following the midterm, and the threat of laying [...]
