Hi suchit.pandey,

Thanks for posting. First, I recommend you read this case study of an Indian applicant who was accepted into Columbia, Tuck, and MIT:

For ways that you can improve your application, remember that business schools are looking to cultivate future leaders, so any leadership and management experience you have will be important. This can be inside or outside of work.

For schools that you are interested in, do you have a preference in location? What are your goals post-graduation?


Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hi suchit.pandey,

Admissions teams are looking for individuals who have made an impact and exhibited leadership. If in your football experience, for example, you held the role of captain, or took a leadership role, this could add a great element to your application. However, the impact of this would be much lower if you only participated in an organization, and did not take an active role.
