Can an admissions specialist or HBS alum please help me with these questions....
I am having difficulty picking my 3 accomplishments for the HBS essay.
1. I have been out of school now for 3.5 years. Is it appropriate to pick something from college, or is that too far back?
2. Is it important that the accomplishments had impacts other people or organizations (like an accomplishment at work) vs something you did solo that really impacted no one else (such as an independent trip around Asia you took)?
3. Is it better to pick a more significant accomplishment that you had a smaller role in (being an analyst on a large corporate transaction) or a less "important" accomplishment that you had a major role in (President of a student club in college that achieved something)?
Thanks so much for your help!
