Accepted at: Harvard HBS
Industry Exp: Banking, Energy, Retail
Gender: Male
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   I am an entreprenuer who went straight from undergrad, where I majored in engineering, to HBS. I would be best suited for mentees coming from non-traditional backgrounds. I can provide feedback to applicants from these backgrounds trying to explain their reasoning for going to business school. For those of you coming from traditional finance backgrounds, my girlfriend also graduated from HBS with me and now works at a prominent investment bank (hint: the only one of the major players that hasn't gone backgrupt or been bought out yet). She will be helping me provide feedback as well. Most applicants will have stellar academic and/or professional credentials, but good applicants need to have more than just professional ambition. They need to have big (but realistic) dreams and show how they are going to have a major impact in their communities. So in addition to helping with some of the more mundane parts of the application, I can make sure you paint an interesting picture of yourself, your goals, and your dreams.

Start a project with Nontraditional! Mentor:
Nontraditional
Accepted at: Harvard HBS
Industry Exp: Banking, Engineering, Finance, Military
Gender: Male
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   My background allowed me to tell a somewhat different story on my application essays. I came out of the maritime industry where I spent several years as a crewmember on commercial vessels and then worked in management. I was also in the Naval Reserve for eight years. I believe I can add perspective to those who do not come out of the "traditional" MBA applicant mold. Everyone has valuable experiences, and what will set you apart is the ability to tell a compelling story about how those lead you to business school. I was a round 2 admit in 2006. I had put in a hastily prepared application in round 3 the year before and received valuable feedback from the admissions office for my 2006 effort. I was able to learn a great deal from admissions about what they look for when selecting admits from a sea of qualified applicants.
