Seeing your post here a little late in the year, but a quick question for you- I have been looking into ML4T's MBA Prep program now for a couple of years and curious if you decided to take part or are you still deferring your participation? Also, any insight for their application? It goes live for their 2012 MBAP class later this month.
Thanks,
A
I apologize for the delay. I also looked at ML4T's Prep for a couple of years. I deferred my participation but intend to participate in next year's class. Regarding the application, be authentic, clear, and unique. I have been involved in various groups of extremely talented minority candidates. A counterpart with similar if not better credentials than my own was waitlisted. He asked me about my b-school goals (entertainment technology) and stated that he clearly understood how my goals set me apart. I'm not interested in the norm. Therefore, I recommend that you clearly articulate your goals and how you intend to influence your respective field as well as others. By the way, two ML4T prep alums (pre and post acceptance) were also intrigued by my goals. Speak with alums. Give them your spiel/pitch. They will be honest with you if you need to work on it. They will also help you strengthen it. Let me know if want to contact current participants.
