Hi Ben,

You have an impressive profile. I think it's great raw material for HBS, and I would suggest taking some time to reflect on why you want an MBA and why you want it in conjuction with your other degrees. I think that expressing your self-awareness, motivations and maturity will be important for you.

Good luck!

Hi beny,

I'm definitely impressed with your intiative. You should have some great material for essays and the application.

I always suggest being honest in your goals. If you are honest about wanting to pursue social enterprise (and it sounds like you are passionate about it) then you should definitely present that goal. Passion comes through in essays, and picking a goal that you are sincerely devoted to will only help you.

Good luck!
