Thank you for your response...it was funny specially since you made so much of an effort on a monday morning
On a more serious note:
There are a lot of very accomplished/talented people who do not know how the MBA application process works (hence the admission consultants!). As far as I know MBA is another college degree and every year 1000s of people like me get into top schools as much because they are accomplished as they understand the process. I do not need to get a bronze star to prove my passion. I am passionate about my current role and I aim to be the best business leader I can for my company and I know I dont need a business degree to prove that. Unfortunately my company values a top B-school stamp more than it values all the accomplishments you listed. It may not be the ideal reason to go to B-school but every year hundreds of people do go to top schools so that they could work for GS or McK.
On the other hand , if B-schools were only looking at the most accomplished people then they wouldn’t worry about nationality, visa issues, scholarships, minority representation and job functions.
Thank you for you looong response however unfortunately my questions (1,2,3) were not answered.
PS: you idea of me going to Tibet is interesting! I am in on that!!
