Are you involved in activities outside of work? Are your post MBA goals well developed? That will also be important. Do you already have a concept for your own business, for example? (0)

Led some projects in the second (large bank), but there isn't that much room to be truly have a serious impact. Have done a lot of teaching in highschool/college/post college. Currently do pro-bono consulting. Post MBA The goal is going to consulting directly to build working with management, understanding how companies are run, the following this want to start a food business (probably focused on import export and bringing specialty goods to americans) Actually struggling to decide whether to write the essay about the business or the consulting. Business is way more interesting, but consulting might reassure them that I'll get employed... (0)
