London Business School changed its MBA application for the 2021-2022 season to require just one letter of recommendation. In doing so, it joins a growing number of top business schools requesting a singular reference, including MIT Sloan, Columbia Business School, and IESE. So what does this mean for your MBA recommender strategy? 

To put this into context, MBA applications have been trending ever shorter over the past two decades, which until recently was largely reflected in fewer essay questions. Where once it was common to write upwards of four essays per program, most top US schools have slimmed down to one or two essay questions. (HBS, which has one essay question, had no less than nine back in 1999; view this retrospective from Fortuna’s Matt Symonds on MBA Essay Questions from 20 Years Ago). 

“The message to candidates is that the admissions committee should be able to clearly understand who an applicant is in much less space,” says...

You might think that any applicant with an undergraduate GPA of 2.72 would be dead on arrival at any top business school. After all, the GPA class averages at any of the top 25 MBA programs in the U.S. is always above a 3.0. Admission officials take undergraduate transcripts seriously because past academic performance is a strong indicator of future performance.

William has that predicament to overcome from his time as a biology major at Boston College He does have a 700 GMAT score, which will help offset the low GPA, plus experience as an executive officer in the U.S. Army.

He has an impressive array of extras as well: An Eagle Scout, he has been a volunteer in Big Brothers, Big Sisters and has been co-captain of an intramural softball team. He also holds dual citizenship in Mexico and the U.S. And his target MBA programs are at Cornell Johnson, Texas McCombs and Duke Fuqua.

Alan Gilbert’s 265-page collection of poems, The Everyday Life of Design (Studio / SplitLevel Texts), is expansive and consuming. One can sense a poet trolling for a long time — so many strange cultural artifacts have wound up tangled in his nets. But Gilbert keeps to his monotone — he’s a disciplined deadpanist. Each poem is just another design on the calendar of passing days, as he stoically speaks from his terminally doomed middle-aged heart. The poems take refuge in their bland, Ashbery-esque colloquialism. 

The “designs” are broken into four chapters that could be biographical: “Tangle of Wishes”; “Damage is Done”; “Organ Donor”; and “Docking Bay.” These sections seem to chronicle a man’s unfortunate entrance into mid-life, though it’s difficult to gauge how many years of maturation have gone into their making, how many decades of reflection and revision, and often Gilbert uses a “we” pronoun that may refer to someone else, a partner in crime,...

The surge in cryptocurrency prices over the past year has spurred renewed interest in the multiple ways to profit from the asset class.

Crypto mining remains one of the most viable ways to participate in the upside of digital currencies without buying them directly. In practice, miners' computers compete by solving complex mathematical equations that help verify digital currency transactions and update the shared ledger called the blockchain. Their reward for solving these problems is a share of the cryptocurrency that's associated with the blockchain they are part of, such as bitcoin or ethereum.

Since cryptos are decentralized, meaning that no appointed intermediaries are recording each transaction, miners are essential to keeping the crypto ecosystem alive.

But mining is not without current and future roadblocks. The environmental impact of its electricity usage is a hotly contested issue. Miners are fleeing China, a historically important location for...

Between record dip-buying and the roller coaster in Robinhood Markets Inc., the meme-stock army is running wild across Wall Street again, making life harder for institutional pros trading popular quant strategies.

Jump Trading Group, a big but relatively low-profile high-frequency trading firm, is making the leap into executing retail equity orders, a space long dominated by Citadel Securities and Virtu Financial, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Executives at Jump told the WSJ that the company has been plotting its move to retail equity execution for years, and is now finalizing the regulatory approval to do so. One Jump executive, Tonya Adduci, said that the company felt compelled by the current market configuration to get in on retail equities.

"The utopian market structure for US equities would be a completely lit and transparent market," said Adduci. "Absent that, we're forced to find ways to participate in the markets as they exist today. That means we need to have a footprint in the wholesale market-making business."

Jump already executes some crypto orders for Robinhood, but the move into stocks thrusts the trader into the heart of the meme-stock...

Darren Crowther, general manager at Broadridge Securities Finance and Collateral Management, discusses his firm becoming an approved securities finance transaction submitter for the National Securities Clearing Corporation Equities Clearing Service

The market is aware of the new NSCC SFT Equity Clearing Service. What will be Broadridge’s role as an approved SFT submitter? The role is to provide a technology utility which brings together, compares, and matches trades from both the lender and borrower before submitting them to NSCC on behalf of both parties. We call this a ‘Y’ shape as the service model resembles the ‘Y’ with two inflows at the top feeding into one outflow. The reverse will be when the NSCC accepts the trade event and pushes it back up the flow to the lender and borrower which will be viewed on the Broadridge user interface (UI). The process involves not just the trades, but the required trade lifecycle changes that come in from the lenders and...

Long before there were digital twins or the internet of things, Ansys was making simulation tools to help engineering teams design better products, model the real world, and expand the boundaries of science research.

VentureBeat caught up with Ansys CTO Prith Banerjee, who elaborated on why interest in digital twins is taking off, how modeling and simulation are undergoing key developments, and how AI and traditional simulation approaches are starting to complement one another. His view is that of a foundational player surveying a robust set of new applications.

The decentralized internet of things platform IoTeX (IOTX) was the top performer on the 24-hour chart for the second day in a row thanks to a rally sparked by an announcement from Coinbase that it will be listing the token on Coinbase Pro beginning August 11.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the price of IOTX has now rallied 150% from a low of $0.0213 in the early trading hours on Aug. 9 to an intraday high at $0.0529 on Tuesday.

IN recent years, securities trading algorithms have been developed, and they have allowed automated high-frequency trading without human intervention. High-frequency trading (HFT) is a form of trading in which security positions are turned over very quickly by leveraging advanced technology and the associated extremely low latency rates. HFT is considered one category of algorithmic trading. Algorithmic trading is a form of electronic trading that is carried through computers.

A pre-programmed algorithm decides when and how to carry out a certain trade, based on certain conditions specified in the algorithm and checked for against other market data being received from external sources.

HFT was well explained by Jay Vaananen (2015) in his book titled: “Dark Pools and High-Frequency Trading for Dummies.”

While there is no formal definition of HFT, the US Securities and Exchanges Commission (Sec) attribute the following specific...

Financial companies operating trading platforms have extremely high connectivity requirements for their networks; market transactions can be won or lost based on milliseconds and just a few individual data packets. A momentary glitch in the network, such as a “burst” of traffic, congestion or latency, can cause packet loss that delays or loses market transactions. When it comes to high-frequency trading (HFT), this can have serious financial and legal repercussions for all parties involved. 

The secret to preventing these issues is implementing a network monitoring infrastructure that can deliver accurate, real-time data with extremely high granularity. We’re talking millisecond range granularity. This presents its own unique set of challenges. 

In an ideal scenario, IT will have monitoring tools in place to detect “bursts” that result in a network device or link receiving more traffic than it can pass on. Detecting these bursts allows IT to route the...
