Dear Stacy,
i was just reading a friend's successful college application essays (he got into harvard, columbia, chicago, and stanford.) The essays kept going on about how consulting enabled him to have a great impact on society; affecting millions of lives, and i couldn't help but compare myself to him while i was reading.
I am an assistant brand manager at a fast moving consumers good conglomerate and in terms of giving back to society through my job, it doesn't even compare to his consulting career. it makes me wonder how i should go around this in my essays (in 3-4 years) and what the Adcoms would think when they compare marketing backgrounds to hundreds of consulting backgrounds who undergo social projects everyday as a part of their work (plus social activities outside of work assignments.)
Thank you in advance, Stacey.
Regards,
Nazly
