Getting into a b-school is only the first step towards your dream career. If you ask any business school student or alum, which were the most life-changing days on campus, they are likely to credit it to Summer Placement interviews. These interviews are more important than even your b-school interviews. And even more life-changing. And isn't getting into your dream company one of the main reasons you worked hard to get into a b-school? So why stop now? After all, it's not a race. It's a marathon.
