Awards and Extracurricular activities
As the title says, I would like some guidance on these areas. The awards part is pretty simple - I have several appreciation awards from my last job.

At 30 years old, I am on the higher side of the curve for work experience when compared to an "average" applicant. I have also been very busy in the experience I have gained in my 6 years out of school - unusually busy when compared to many of my peers. I am concerned that if I try to fit ...

You might want to get your R1 recommenders lined up now, as well. As an example of why, I went to ask my direct supervisor from my last job for a letter, only to find out he had just left for a two week vacation.

Hi Dennisn, I am also currently applying to business schools, so I am not speaking from the wealth of experience that many on this site may have. However, I work at a VC-backed startup and I can tell you I have now met many people who were entrepreneurs first before going to b-school. As far as what...

I have a very similar question. I am the CEO for a small business I started on the side two years ago which provides technical resources to people with ideas for start-ups to help them go from concept to prototype, mainly in the alt-energy/renewables sector.

Question on Recommendation Letters
Hi All! I finished my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering just over 6 years ago and have been in industry since. I have only been at my current job a year, though they are very understanding and willing to work with me on going to a full time MBA program. I just scored a 720 on the GMAT last weekend - ha...
