Mentor Details:   An applicant's biggest strength is his/her ability to demonstrate quality work experience.

Start a project with Clarissa! Mentor:
Clarissa
Accepted at: MIT Sloan
Industry Exp: Consulting, Government
Gender: Female
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   I am great at helping people to dig down into their stories to make them vivid and memorable. Based on your profile I can help you develop a strategy to highlight things that the adcom may question - if you have an engineering background we might want to highlight your people skills etc. I am an excellent writer both from a stylistic and technical point of view (top 1% on Verbal GMAT). A good app is the meeting of 1. basic academic and professional criteria (grades, GMAT, job) and 2. pertinent examples of your life/professional experiences. My personal take is that given adequate 1 criteria you can write your way in or out of a mba programme.  Read Clarissa's blog
