Dear Amit

Your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision. I think you have some interesting professional experience that should distinguish you from other applicants from India. Be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals. Finally, you will want to have something in your personal life to write about, so get involved with a community organization or some other extracurricular activity where you can gain some interesting experience.

Good luck,
Lisa
