Essay  Four  (Optional)    Is  there  any  other  information  you  would  like  to  share  that  is  not  presented  elsewhere  in  the  application?  (300  words  maximum)      In  addition  to  improving  my  GMAT  score,  since  my  last  application,  I  have  also  expanded  my   leadership  experience  through  people  management.  While  earlier,   I  had   led  global  project  teams  based  in  India,  UK,  and  the  US,  providing  coaching  and  mentoring  to  team  mates,  this  was  my  first  experience   in  managing  performance  and  career  path  for  one  direct   report.   I   have   learned   that   I   enjoy   helping   others   succeed   and   working  collaboratively  to  develop  skills  that  can  help  them  grow.    As   an   Indian   female   engineer,   working   in   HR   strategy   consulting   across   multiple  industries  in  the  US,  I  can  bring  a  global  perspective  to  an  already  diverse  class  at  Kenan  Flagler.  I  am  looking  to  contribute  to  Organizational  Effectiveness  classes  with  Prof  Steve  Jones   and  Prof  David  Hofman.   Through   class   discussions   I   can   also  help  my  peers   get  better   acquainted   with   some   of   the   talent   management   issues   facing   global  organizations.    During  the  course  of  my  application  last  year,  I  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  with  some  wonderful  Kenan-­‐Flagler  students  and  alumni.  Harsh  Joshi  (’14),  Omolara  Oyelakin  (’15),  and  Udipta  Mukherji  (’09)  had  different  backgrounds  and  aspirations  but  it  was  great  to  see  that   they  among  the  attributes  they  had   in  common  all  were   friendly,  helpful  and  very  smart  individuals.  My  conversations  with  them  convinced  me  that  Kenan-­‐Flagler  is  the   right   place   for   an   individual   like  me,  who   believes   in   becoming   an   impactful   and  positive  leader  with  the  support  of  an  empathetic  community.  I  have  been  encouraged  in  my  many   conversations  with   Alison   Hope   Jesse   and   have   greatly   benefit   from   her  guidance  in  improving  my  application.  The  decision  to  reapply  this  year,  after  improving  my   GMAT   score   was   thus   a   no-­‐brainer.   I   hope   my   reapplication   material   can   help  demonstrate  both  my  continued  interest  and  also  professional  growth  since  last  year.
