For most test takers, Data Insights is the most challenging section on the GMAT, with test takers scoring several points lower on average on DI than on Quant or Verbal and completing the section with less time to spare.

Most MBA applicants treat the essay prompt as a question to answer. It isn't. The prompts at M7 and T10 programs are open-ended by design — watching what candidates choose to say when almost anything is fair game. That choice is a strategic decision, and- Jun 03

Hi all,
I am applying for h2+2 and stanford MBA (Deferred Enrollment).
Pre MBA: I will likely work in Strategy Consulting.
Post MBA: I want to work really close to the technological and innovative side of companies, but still with a business role. I was going to write in the essays/application forms that I want to work in corporate innovation, tech or VC industries. Do you think that this is too generic? Do you have any suggestion?

Yes you'll definitely need to pick a lane with the long-term goal elpuntazza
If I were you I would definitely do some quick research..hop on LinkedIn and speak to these people it would be a great opportunity for you to lay the groundwork anyway.
You need to pinpoint people in these exact rules so that you can speak about it convincingly with Why Stanford.
Strategy Consulting as a very generic goal, you would want to indicate why Strategy Consulting is a fit for you how you would be successful at it, really do some research, talk to people. To be a good strategy consultant you need to have a good command of data analytics, have a very even, calm, personality, have great interpersonal skills and good public speaking skills, get along with anyone, and be great at solving problems. that's the kind of research you would want to do on the long-term goal and for both of them you would want to speak to why you be motivated to that.
I will share with you that both of those schools like to see someone have a vision for their life that is beyond them self. They're not really in the business of accelerating your career they rather help people become leaders that are out to make a positive impact in the world.
So I realize you're very young yet but if you could forecast what the legacy is that you would like to leave, think, from there and then work backward. This is actually what they do at BCG
An easy way to go might be to pick a different pre-mba goal, and then have strategy Consulting as your post-mba goal.
To be very honest it is kind of ambitious to have strategy consulting as a pre-mba goal as some people cannot even pull that off doing an MBA. I had a client who graduated from Harvard in 3 yearswiyh a 4.0 but he couldn't pass the case interview at Booth for Bain.
Do you have some kind of experience with cases, to indicate that you would nail that?

Wow, thank you so much for your help! I completely understand your point.
I did a summer internship in strategy consulting (tier 2 firm). I am planning either to go back to that firm or (most likely) go for MBB, for which I already have interviews scheduled but they are going to be in summer and so after the deadline of Stanford/Harvard. Note that I don't have an offer from the firm where I interned, as where I live it is quite unlikely to receive a formal post-graduation offer until a couple of months before the graduation, but anyway I received a very positive feedback.
So I am convinced that before joining the MBA I will stay in strategy consulting, but I know that I want to do something else after the MBA... I really love technology, in its broad meaning. And I think that working in VC/corporate innovation strategy/ tech industry I could be very impactful, while really have to deal daily with technology. But even looking at LinkedIn profiles, I am struggling understanding which is the best option for me.
For instance, I think that landing a job in a VC right after an MBA is very difficult. Therefore, a viable option could be to work in product management in tech after the MBA and then try to enter the VC industry after a couple of years. Another option could be to work in a strategic role in tech and then shift to a similar strategic oriented role in non-tech companies....What do you think about these?
Thank you again for your help!
