Hi!

I have just starting writing the essay for HBS and i cannot understand what excatly they want to know! :(
Please throw some light on this..whoever is done/about to finish the same!

Thanks.

The prompt says it all. They want to know anything. Personally, I would talk about my diverse upbringing and connect it with my long term goals while throwing my immigration story in the middle and the adversity I faced. Write what you are passionate about.

haha this is exactly what I've done
