Hello Amy and Stacy
First of all I would like to thank you for contributing your time to the forum. It is always interesting and helpful to read your opinions.
I have a couple of questions regarding my application.
1)Is it better to highlight ones interests and extracurricular activities in the resume or in the essay? How does one include this info in the essay if there is no question on hobbies.
2)I have been very active in all extracurricular activities during my university days, but for the last 5 years I have been working for 15 hours a day. So all that has stopped, will this hurt me?
3)Have taken a year off since I got married last year and had to relocate to USA. So have a gap of 1 year in my CV. I can explain this but any idea on how this is viewed?
4)I will be applying only to Ross Business School . What do you feel about my profile?
Thanks you in advance for your guidance
