Six Sixes? Wow
Yesterday Yuvraj Singh hit Chris Broad for six sixes in one over, and did it stun the English? One Andrew Flintoff in particular...
But it set me thinking - can I achieve the same feat? No, I dont intend to go back to cricket. I was a decent player in my school days, and still play infrequently, but thats just about it. I meant on my essays, can I do six in a day? Atleast draft the body, and think about the word limits, grammar & style later. That would be a great achievement for me. And may just help in completing the HBS apps in time for R1.
So while my reviewers are still to get back on my career essay, I have decided to aim for the magic six, and go for the following (in the order I'll attempt) :
I. Columbia # 3 : Entrepreneurial mindset (500 words)
II. Wharton # 2 : Failure / Setback (500 words)
III. Wharton # 4 : Leadership capacity (500 words)
IV. LBS # 5 : Outside home country (150 words)
V. Chicago # 2 : Someone else's shoes (500 words)
VI. LBS # 3 : Leadership experience (500 words)
I also have two backups, in case I get stuck on any of the chosen six. If not, these become to-dos for the coming weekend (yes! we're just a day away!)
VII. Columbia # 4 : Passion (250 words)
VIII. Wharton # 3 : Outsider (500 words)
I've specifically chosen ones that are different from each other (even choice III and VI will be quite dissimilar in the output I think, bc of the study group element in VI). Also, these cover a majority of the HBS topics. If I get these right, HBS may be back in R1
Come on Chris, bowl me a good over!!!
