Hello, and welcome back to our weekly foray into the b-school blogosphere for a candid look at what’s keeping MBA applicants and students buzzing. From an analysis of the state of the MBA to a celebration of a hard-won victory, you’re sure to glean some helpful information that will make the b-school journey easier.

Is the MBA bubble going to burst?—In a lengthy post, Part-Timer examines the state of the MBA degree, particularly as it relates to hiring, salaries, ROI, and relevancy in today’s marketplace. Although it may not be the Golden Ticket degree it once was, he concludes that it still offers quite a reasonable and attractive ROI compared to many other advanced degrees.

Welcome message—In case you hadn’t already heard, Cornell’s Johnson School announced Monday that Soumitra Dutta will become the 11th dean of the school effective July 1. Ellipser remarks that he will miss Dean Thomas, but hears from others who met Dutta and his wife that they are two of the nicest people in business.
