There's hope out there

No offense to anyone who went to an ivy league school for undergrad or grad ...

... But I just had a fabulous 30-minute conversation with an HBS grad who works for a top consulting firm and who didn't once mention his MBA alma mater by name. I've had so, so, so many informational interviews and chance meetings with folks in that category and I can't even tell you how rampant the name dropping can be.

Super refreshing! And he made a company that I hadn't seriously considered working for seem awfully appealing ...

So, while I'm still stressed out and a bit frustrated about having a number of summer opportunities fall through or fail to materialize, I'm having a moment of inspiration and encouragement.
