GMAT Admission Process

by mveerendra » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:43 pm
Hi

From my learning I have understood that taking part in extra curricular activities will be a value addition to my profile during the MBA admission process. Unfortunately I haven't taken part in any of the activities other than my work. Please suggest me on how to present myself during the admission process.

Regards
Veerendra

Get started on something immediately. Worst case is that you comment on this in a supplementary essay and state this will be a priority going forward.

Hi mveerendra,

ECA play a very important role so we would advise you to work on that aspect. When you are applying to an institute, extra-curricular activities can go a long way in enhancing your profile. Even once admitted to an institute, students must realize that an overall learning doesn't come solely through in-class work. Classroom learning also needs to be supplemented by extracurricular activities and off-campus work experiences. If time is a restriction we would recommend to you to be part of some quality activities rather than going for a bulk and not producing expected standards.
