I first heard the news while I was working out at the gym. I was 25 minutes into my workout on the elliptical when the Today Show announced that Seal and Heidi Klum were separating and headed for divorce. As the anchors continued to discuss the separation, they read a statement from the star’s publicists stating how much love and respect they have for each other. Heidi and Seal hoped that...
Some business school applicants are legitimately wondering whether they should go ahead and apply in Round 3 for the 2012 entering class.
