How strict is the Adcom with the word limit on the 25 random things essay? My 25 points fit in 2 pages but are well over the 750 word limit

what do you mean by "well over’?

Will those words provide significant impact on your essay?

I am not sure about it. However, I feel it will be on the same time when the interview calls were announced i.e., 00:15 IST (midnight).

Do you think I should add entrepreneurship experience in my resume? I had started a baking company in college and was wondering whether to include it or not

I usually look at it the other way- at least one contribution can be non-professional

The thing is that I come from a very non-traditional background, and I’m finding it very difficult to provide a contribution to the professional club

I see. Then that’s okay. Your contributions should be representative of your past experiences and post- MBA goals.

i don’t think it has to be related to your MBA goals

your impact can be based on your past experiences, but you won’t be making an impact in relation to your post mba

the school will be making the impact on you to achieve your post mba goals

what impact can you really make if you are trying to switch careers
