		<description><![CDATA[Luckily, back when I applied for b-school there was no such thing as ‘Angry Birds.’ As Oscar Wilde said: I can resist anything except temptation. Even now, my iPhone winks at me… I resist. But I maintain everything we do and everything we are is potentially of value in competitive MBA admissions. So what can [...]]]></description>

As it happens, during my off-season sabbatical time &#8212; which new clients have patiently waited out (thank you) I’ve had numerous emails of the “I-was-dinged-last-year, what-did-I do-wrong?” type.

It follows that in their MBA applications they cite travel as an activity they value and put it among the important experiences they have had. They think that journeying across the world speaks for itself [...]]]></description>
