Very nice.
Great read and not quite surprising. If you're a white or asian male in consulting or finance, and your firm is not a brand-name, then you're pretty much fucked at the top 5 MBA programs.
great info here. I signed up for the 2 hour webinar for tomorrow. Should be interesting.
Haha but it also helps in the fact or idea to go and triumph certain things in your essay and hardships you've had.. Parents had me while in HS and I was first to graduate HS nevermind college and mother died when I was young so it basically says to weave things like that into your story if you can... This is where the "having to do more essays" is a good thing since you can sell your sides better
That presentation is fine and dandy, but does it really say anything especially new and useful to who has spent any time on the application process?
thanks dude. bookmarked it!
having an autistic brother you took care of should be a plus right?
Should I say that I'm gay or perhaps a woman born in a man's body?
i'm actually a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
It does go over a lot of things that we already knew but helped fine tooth comb what to do for leadership and EC roles as well as extra rocky details of your life -- don't want them there to make excuses but more so to sing your Heros ballad. And yes blastoise that works
Great read!
I never knew military was considered underrepresented. I knew that it wasn't exceedingly common, but I didn't know it gets lumped in there with LGBT, race, etc.
Great read, Short. Thanks.
This is awesome.
Helpful. Thanks.
Wow, thank you, this is great
just FYI to all - she is doing a presentation tonight on her site for 2 hours and another tomorrow during the day for 2 hours

listening to presentation right now. Its really good, and easy to ask anonymous questions.
Great stuff man, you get my last few SBs. Thank you!
Signed up for Thursday.
So not to toot my own horn or anything but this was an EXCELLENT presentation and incredibly useful -- quick up front blunt way to get your questions answered, I was able to ask about if B schools like continuing studies from name brand schools over comm colleges for alternative transcripts, if me being the first to graduate from HS and college had weight and if the GMAT splits and breakdowns matter. Definitely sign up on the site for tomorrow's class!!!
Toot toot.
attended yesterday, definitely second the above, if you plan on going to school within the next year or two, please attend tomorrow.
Unfortunately I'm not able to sit in either. Would anyone be able to record the session. Or even a quick summary would be amazing.
Big thanks to Short for posting this!
Major thanks Short for posting! Great help.
I am also curious if it is recorded / cont. ed.
shamelessly bumping
Registration is closed for tonight's webinar. Does anyone know if there will be a recording of the event?
nope. the slides are there but thats it
Short - did she use the same slides as in the link for the webinar? I signed up but had to miss it : (
Anything in particular mentioned in the session not found in the deck, or some points that jumped out at you (or anyone else who listened in)?
Most excellent presentation, takk!
she elaborated on stuff and built them out a bit
I signed up and totally forgot about this. Any possibility of us getting some of those slides?
