Amy did research with a Nobel prize winner, she's going places. She needs work with her presentation and its a slam dunk. She's going to be an impactful leader if she gets in at her targets.
Clearly she has a solid profile and will have no problem getting into the school of her choice. I don't really understand the logic for these 2+2 admissions though. In my opinion candidates should have a minimum of three years work experience before the program starts and interview after two solid years of work experience under their belt. I couldn't help laughing when she said the most unexpected thing at CalTech was that it's also a party school or also when she compared the housing system to Hogwarts....perhaps I am too old to be considering an MBA!
@@randomguy4116 Agreed that the classes should be diverse! If they are deferring for two years anyways, I just think the interviews would be better after some meaningful work experience.

An MBA class should be diverse! Age and otherwise. No point in going to do an MBA within your own echo chamber.
