Blog Archive Mission Admission Never Too Late to Advance Your Personal Goals

Blog Archive Mission Admission Never Too Late to Advance Your Personal Goals Mission Admission is a series of MBA admission tips; a new one is posted each Tuesday. We have noted before in our Mission Admission series that it is  never too late to improve your business school candidacy by engaging in community activities. Today, we send a similar message with regard to personal leadershipâ€"you always have time to take steps to bolster your chances of admission. Many candidates completely ignore the personal side of their candidacy. But if you have completed a triathlon, learned a language, published an article or simply been an inordinately dedicated neighbor/sibling/mentor in an unofficial capacity (for example), these kinds of stories can provide interesting points of differentiation. So, if you have an activity or adventure in mind that you would otherwise complete later, pursue it now. We are not suggesting that you go out and start writing poetry tomorrow in hopes of getting something published, but if you are a dedicated poet and have poems that you have long intended to submit, do so now. If you can run 20 miles and have always planned to run a marathon, do it now.  Your personal stories can set you apart. Share ThisTweet Mission Admission
