Hi mfreak,

I do not think you need to focus on community service to write better essays. I firmly believe that your theme should revolve around your career post MBA, and the type of roles you would want to pursue. Adcoms try to see if they can put a candidate in front of a recruiter, and the best way you can convince the adcoms is by 'connecting the dots' - your passion --> your work exp ---> Kelley ---> post Kelley job---> 5 yr timeline.

having said that, I would suggest that you have a look at Toastmaster club part from Net Impact.

Thanks Nitin. But for the essay question that asks about "Hwo would you add to the diversity of the institution", wouldnt I need to highlight some of my other aspects, which arent professional?

Hi Nitin,
I got admit from Kelley (no schol/GA) and to McDonough (40k schol). I am having a tough time choosing.
I have 6 years of tech experience and 2 years of Ibanking (front end) experience.
wanted to know your thoughts on which school i should go for.

Regarding post MBA goals, i am open to (I-banking, PE, tech strategy/consulting, corporate strategy).

Appreciate any inputs you can provide.
Thanks.

Hi Aquabu,

I would say go to Georgetown. Its a great program, plus 40k is HUGE. I hope my situation was easier XD. I have schol from 2 schools, almost similar so am wondering which to go for.

As for brand I think both will be at similar levels, or maybe GT is a tad bit lower, but your ROI is huge with GT compared to Kelley. That matters a lot.

Hi Aquabu,

first of all extremely sorry for the late reply. Just go for Georgetown. Honestly, dont even give a second to it. ROI is one of the biggest factors in choosing a school.
