I took feedback from wharton and Kellogg
They went to great depths in analyzing my app
Wharton feedback:
actually they pointed out that they were struggling to understand me as a person from my essays. They managed to understand my goals (she literally used the statement managed to understand)
They gave feedback on how I could improve my failure essay and wanted in genral info to help them understand me as a person. They were very severe on my failure essay. They said that with the info i provided they are unable to have a judgement on my app.
THey were pleased with my recos and mentioned very clearly that focus of repp to be essays only and I need to explain my unusual scoring mechniasm of my university i.e Mumbai university in optional essays as my research publications, awards are not in sync with thier understanding of my undergrad GPA
. They wanted me to take time out do some deep introspection and write essays that reveals me
Kellogg
Kellogg said they Liked my goal essay, GMAt scores and professional exp
But thier argument was winning 4 national awards in public speaking is great but public speaking is a singular activity. I come across as a singular personality. They want the same level of achievement as a comuunity service/team contribution activities.
Anybody with 6+ years of experience gets opportunities to manage teams but that doesnt say that you care for the community. Her literal comment was
"Stop Thinking of urself and tell us in ur next app how you can contribute to the community"
Hope this helps
