How To Get into Harvard, Stanford & Booth

In this article it talks about how an applicant with a non-traditional background got into those 3 top MBA programs.

Here are 3 myths he talks about when applying to these top MBA programs.



Myth 1: Top MBA Programs only accept management consultants and investment bankers.
So, don’t worry if you come from a ‘non-traditional’ background like me: consider your background an opportunity to demonstrate what makes you unique and to offer a fresh perspective in your application!

Myth 2: The admissions committee expects you to have loads of extracurricular activities.
So, think carefully about the image of yourself that you want to paint with your extracurricular activities, and remember: it’s about quality over quantity!

Myth 3: As an applicant, it’s best to pack as much into your application as possible.
So, rather than listing off a stream of achievements, create an interesting story with your application: you will draw your reviewer in and improve your chances of standing out!

I think it is all about passion that separates the applicants.

 

That is one of the reasons I have stopped reading this website...

Non-traditional candidate? Seriously? Just another silver spoon candidate with high GPA/gmat scores + LGBT stuff = easy admission to any school.

Writing an essay to Harvard was probably the most stressful life experience of this guy. And he will teach the crowd how to get admitted to top schools.
