The Story of an MBA/JD Douche Bag. A lot to read, so I realize most won’t, but those that do will be richly rewarded.

Got the worst out of the way with the accounting, and the business math shouldn’t be a problem (econ degree), but the I have a hitch in my step with the corp finance. Have patience with me. Thanks.

Subject: RE: Ivy software Holly, I hate excuses, but I find myself using them. A car wreck, computer problems, stupid family issues and a kidney stone scare have made my three weeks less than productive. I suggest maybe an oral examination to prove my competency or, since bootcamp is already in progress, we forget about it. The downside risk for me is that my grades might suffer, and I am OK with that. Looking forward to a great year in school!

First, no one has ever asked for an exception for completing work required to enter the MBA program, nor, obviously, has an exception ever been granted. You were, however, granted several extensions of time to meet the requirements. Frankly, if you are having problems meeting these requirements, whatever the reason, you may well find the program expectations to be very challenging. In addition, the tone you have taken in communicating with Cox staff about the matter is inappropriate. I cannot imagine that you would communicate this way with faculty and staff at the Dedman School and it won’t be tolerated here. If you would like the opportunity to enter the MBA program, I am available this week for a face-to-face meeting to discuss your sincere interest in the program and in meeting all requirements of the program. I strongly suggest that prior to such a meeting, you complete all the requirements if you haven’t done so already. Absent completion of all requirements and a meeting to discuss your seriousness about the MBA program by Friday this week, your admission to the Cox School of Business MBA program will be revoked. Sincerely, Marci Armstrong Marci Armstrong, Ph.D. Associate Dean, Graduate Programs Cox School of Business Southern Methodist University ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Eakman, Jonathan Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 2:19 PM To: marci Subject: RE: JDMBAs Marci, Did you read the whole email? Don’t use undergraduate threats with a graduate student. Its unbecoming. And hysterical. Furthermore, you granted me an exception on time, so how is an exception on completion any different? As for ability to complete the SMU MBA program, did you check my resume? Do you know I’m a law student next door? On academic scholarship? It is on my resume. It’s a pretty solid resume, you should look. I have real world corporate finance experience for the world’s largest airline. I did their sales strategy. I got there by programming metrics based web applications. I have an econ degree. Might make that corporate finance test seem unnecessary. Furthermore, you assume I have time for a face to face meeting. That is the problem with completing the requirements. I agree that the test is easy to complete. I passed the other two without opening the study materials. I just had a some bad luck and need time to deal with it. That is why I have been granted several extensions. Which I appreciate. But once I complete the requirements, which is one test, what do we have to talk about? My sincere interest in the program? I’m already admitted and my deposit has been paid. I’m enrolled in classes. That’s what I consider sincere interest. What’s your definition? As for my tone. Please define inappropriate. If there is any school bylaws I need to refer to please let me know. This is how the grownups over at the law school communicate. Do you not have a sense of humor? I’ve been at SMU for two years now and I am aware how people communicate. Does this work on people with work experience? Maybe its just hard to threaten (future) attorneys. As for the revoking my admission. I paid the deposit. That means I’m acccepted. Please send appropriate bylaws dealing with rejection of admitted students. You act like I’m a trouble maker, and I’m a law student. What caused the misperception?How many JD/MBA’s do you have problems with? I’m unimpressed with your response. Is this how the business school is going to treat its best students?

Good try. As an admitted student there is a process for expulsion. Once you allowed me to pay the deposit, put me on the student email, enrolled me in classes, and caused me to spend $900 on textbooks I was admitted. Just because you call the tests prerequisites doesn’t mean they aren’t part of the school curriculum. This goes to the honor board. I am requesting they be brought into this. I am also re-requsting the appropriate bylaws you are acting under.You refunded my nonrefundable deposit. Glad I didn’t get deposit insurance. I’ll be there on monday, since I’m on the roll. It really was a good try. Jonathan
What a douche bag, though I would love to hear how that all worked out on Monday morning. I learn something new every day, today it was what not to do if I don’t want to sound like a complete douche bag.
danteshek is going to SMU?
SMU sucks balls anyway
I did a linkedin search on this guy, he doesn’t exist.
Sounds fake. Surely no one is capable of this level of dbaggery.

Ah I know some people who are capable of it in my MBA class.
Someone friend him just to confirm this is posted. May have been taken down but irrespective. He has 180 friends - someone near SMU geographically (if he gets a mass friend request he’ll know).
why do you need to friend him? He doesnt have anything hidden (open profile)…
Its closed for me…
strange I just went and read everything on his profile. Pretty funny to see his friends replies to this…they all pretty much say what a D-bag…
Here is one such reply… “Greg Foster You are a true jackoff. I salute you.”
Post the replies, filter friends names to protect the innocent.
Only other members of Sh!tty Midwest University’s network can see his profile.
Jonathan EakmanNo more SMU! Have a great recording to go with this! October 12 at 11:31pmDaniel Bramlettewow man that is pretty epic. Go Frogs. October 12 at 11:50pmCrystal PoskeyOmgoodness!!!

October 13 at 10:27amLindel D EakmanYou didn’t complete the pre-requisite and anything after that is immaterial. You didn’t get kicked out, you never fulfilled the requirements to get in the program. October 13 at 10:46amCheryl ClarkOh, Jon. That was entertaining! October 13 at 3:01pmMike Smithepic douchebaggery 8 hours agoGreg FosterYou are a true jackoff. I salute you.
Sorry, didnt format it…hope you can make it out. And I am not taking anyone’s names out…I dont care, I dont know these people.
Not sure why I get the luxury of seeing his profile? Didnt go to SMU, not part of any of the same groups, no friends in common…only thing I can think of is we both have screwed IHIHM’s mom, but then so has everyone else and they cant see his profile…strange…
