Community Service and Coursework

You are what you are and of course you are UNIQUE, but it is important to show this aspect of yours in your essays. If you have more than a year before you apply to Business School, there are few things that you can do to strengthen your profile.

Community Service

Isn't it a great feeling to give back to your community? Not just for application purposes. At some point in your life, you would have wanted to pursue your dream to make a difference. Something that you are very passionate about but never took a shot at it. Well this is the time. Do it for your own sense of satisfaction. It also brings to light that you are not just a person who dreams. Actions speak louder than words!!!. If it is truly genuine it will show in your essays and this can make a world of difference

Coursework

You have been thinking about going to Business School, but have you taken any B-school related courses? For example, do you know what Finance is all about? Do you know about the case study method? If you are keen on finding out, you could probably take few courses in Finance or Leadership management. If you lack analytical or quantitative skills, scoring an A in financial accounting can diminish some of those concerns for the Adcom.
