Great forum guys, and lots of useful posts.
Many thanks to Sandy specifically... Candid as usual, cuts the cr@p and straight to the point....
Sandy,A couple of my best friends used your services last year, and found the insights beneficial... I like your insights in here too because they represent the exact stuff ad coms look for...
Going through your views at
https://hbsguru.com/media_pq.html#pq2I was really surprised to see that
Admissions committees dont like students focussed on entrepreneurial tracks straight from school. Ofcourse, there is always the risk of failure of a startup, and this doesnt look good on the percentage of students with jobs 3 months from graduation... This apart from the practical implications (student loan, visa for internationals etc.) But still I thought Harvard given its lofty status looks beyond these statistics...
Anyways it would be great if you could share your experience with the Gmatclub community here:
1. How do your students with Entrepreneurial ambitions "dress themselves"??
2. Do adcoms at other schools, say Booth, Kellogg, Sloan, Tuck or say the european LBS, think the same? Do they trash applicants with such goals as being impractical?
