trump
Accepted at: LBS
Industry Exp: Accounting, Consulting, Finance
Gender: Male
Background: India
 
Mentor Details:   An applicant's biggest strength is his/her ability to demonstrate quality work experience. I had less than 4 years of work experience (at a Big4 accountancy firm) at the time of admission and my biggest hurdle was to explain to the admissions committee what I had to offer to the class with an average work experience of 6 years. Also, coming from a competitive demography, it becomes important to distinguish yourself from the rest of the applicants from the same pool. Looking forward to working with you.

Start a project with aletzu! Mentor:
aletzu
Accepted at: LBS
Industry Exp: Computer Related, Engineering, Technology, Telecom
Gender: Male
Background: Israel
 
Mentor Details:   I am 2011 class admitted student of LBS (and 3 other top US schools). Coming from diverse background including embedded SW team manager, army commander and counselor for international education organization, I bring unique view on leadership and excellence in business education. With average GMAT (starts with a 6 :)) score I had to work really hard to develop my essays strategy. Now I will apply the lessons I've learned from this process to your application! Here is what one of the guys I helped after I got accepted had to say about our work: "As an international, with an Engineering background, totally unfamiliar with MBA application process, is was important for me to leverage the knowledge of someone who already mastered this MBA application process. No doubt, Alex exceeded my expectations. He provided a extremely detailed feedback, making sure I will "fit in" the school, while "standing out" in the applicant pool. His insights allowed me to crystallize my essays, and present a the best possible package."
