Cheers, If you can show impact, initiative, and leadership, then you have a competitive profile for your target programs. You may also want to consider Haas and MIT. Please see our Round 1 Timeline.

Thanks for your response!
Someone people have told me that my no-name work experience will hold me back, you don't think this will be an issue?

Someone people have told me that my no-name work experience will hold me back, you don't think this will be an issue? The no-name firm can be a double-edged sword. On one had it isn't blue-chip, it doesn't have the gatekeeper recruiting process, and it is simply an unknown. It doesn't have the luster of JP Morgan or Goldman. On the other hand, if it is smaller, you could have had much greater opportunity for responsibility and impact. If the latter is true, then your place of employment could actually be a plus. Best, Linda
