The Application Process

Booth asks for a 4 slide deck on whatever topic you choose and asks you to be creative and communicate any information you would like your future classmates to know.

Here are my thoughts:

Content: The rest of the booth application focuses on career goals, learnings, and basically resume fodder. Very little opportunity to explicitly convey what is important to you, or give a sense of who you are. I think the content of these slides would best be suited to show the "type" of person you are

Style: I have read online that the ideal "style" is a minimalist, professional, powerpoint presentation and that AdCom is really testing your ability to make a powerpoint slide. I really cannot see this being the case. This would really put the advantage towards consultants and those who work making presentations all day. People in brand and the like would get the short-end of the stickl. I think creative is the path to go.

Anyone else have thoughts?
