My family comes from a small, poor village called Dumahi. We have seen numerous indignities of poverty from up close.
My parents wanted nothing more than to break the chain of poverty and sacrificed every other need in order to send us to posh private schools with strong academic programs.
There, my sister and I experienced first-hand the yawning differences between the poor and the affluent.
Although MBA programs do admit many students from prestigious feeder institutions, they also admit candidates who simply inspire them, even if those backgrounds are way outside the usual – like Nitish, who spent his pre-MBA career doing social work to benefit marginalized women in India.
Nitish did a great job of telling his story, and has been gracious enough to share both a short version of the personal story that he used in his applications, and a few comments about his experience working with us on his MBA applications.
