7 Action Items For MBA Round 1 Applicants

It’s June, and your plan is to apply for Round 1 deadlines. That’s three months away. What should you be doing now? Decide how you feel about your GMAT/GRE score. Hopefully, you have taken the GMAT or GRE already and are happy with your score. One less thing to worry about. If you haven’t, now it’s the time to take it. Whittle down your list of schools to apply to. You have done your research and have a pretty good idea of what schools you will be applying to. Get the final list of schools ready, with their deadlines arranged in chronological order. In that list, you should include your dream school for sure, a couple where your profile fits right in, and at least one ‘safety,’ where you are almost sure you can get admitted. This is the time to narrow down your choices. Having this list will help you narrow your research and concentrate on those schools only. Finalize your resume. There’s no need to wait around any longer. Your resume should be good to go now so that you have one less piece of the puzzle to worry about. Fine tune your goals. If your goals are still not quite clear in your mind, this is the time to give them some deep thought and write them down. This is particularly true if you are planning on changing fields. Do your homework now so that you start your applications with a clear idea of what you want to do short and long term. Start choosing your recommenders and track them down. Maybe you haven’t seen one of them in a while, so it’s probably a good idea to contact him/her and re-connect. Taking care of this now will allow you to find alternates if for some reason one of the people you had in mind is unwilling or unable to write a recommendation for you. Figure out if you have enough extracurriculars. If you feel you lack community service or extracurricular activities, get on it right away. See my blog post about this here. Start working on your essays. If you have completed steps #1-6 and your target schools have released their application questions, you can start drafting essay responses. If your schools’ questions aren’t out, then just start a file, mind map, or folder where you jot down examples of leadership, top achievements, successes, failures, teamwork, initiative, etc. When the questions are available this file will put good stories and examples at your fingertips to anchor your essays. It will also be useful when you want to prepare for interviews. The importance of staying organized The coming months will be very stressful for you, no doubt. So start working on these things now to allow time to dig deeper on the essays and the rest of your application materials later. You will find that ninety days go by very quickly, so make sure every day counts. Now is also a great time to start working one-on-one with your personal Accepted advisor.

Hult alumnus makes Forbes list of top 100 Italian leaders under 30

Luigi Congedo graduated with his Masters in International Business  in 2013. During his time at Hult, he was actively involved in the Venture Club. Over the years, he has gained experience in business development and finance. His passion, however, is startups. And he wants to contribute to their success on a global scale. Luigis latest achievement was being featured in Forbes as one of the  TOP 100 ITALIAN LEADERS UNDER 30. We caught up with Luigi to talk more about this impressive achievements. Congratulations on being named in the Forbes list. You must feel amazing! I still remember reading Forbes when I was in my first year of university, dreaming about my professional career without knowing what would come next for me. The last few years have been a wonderful experience. I have learned so much in Silicon Valley. I hope that my work continues to reflect my commitment to excel here. I also hope to be able to inspire the millions of young Italians who are studying and working under an extremely inefficient system. Know that  you are way better than what people are telling you, and the world has unlimited opportunities to offer. Keep going, and keep challenging yourself. Fail fast. Succeed faster. The world has unlimited opportunities to offer. Keep going, and keep challenging yourself. Fail fast. Succeed faster. What have you been doing since graduation? I worked at Samsung for a few months, then a fast-growing startup called RadiumOne. Next, I launched a company in Italy called Lovesano.it.  For the last four years, I have been at BootstrapLabs. Since I arrived in Silicon Valley, I have also been writing and speaking at different conferences, including the Mobile World Congress in Spain this year. One of the most important things I learned during my program at Hult is that your reputation in your industry is extremely important and it can accelerate your professional growth. Tell us about BootstrapLabs and how you got involved Founded in 2008, BootstrapLabs is a leading venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley and focused on applied artificial intelligence. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand firsthand the needs and challenges of building a startup. We invest early in potentially disruptive tech startups with global potential. We believe â€Å"AI is eating software,† and invest in innovative and smart software platforms that create significant value for their users in large, global markets. Key sectors of interest include transportation, logistics, FinTech, future of work (FoW), security, internet of things (IoT), HealthTech, and others. BootstrapLabs tracks innovation around the globe and each year connects with over 1,000 founders from 60 countries. Portfolio companies include Prezi, AngelList, Zerply, Trusted Insight, AEye, Qurious.io, Roger.ai, Vidora, Sibly,   and others. Additionally, BootstrapLabs has curated and continuously engages with an incredible network of experts across industries and skills via conferences, events, workshops, and its proprietary advisory platform, BootstrapWorks. What is a typical day like for you? Vetting new investment, working with portfolio companies, and meeting Fortune 500 executives to build partnerships for my firm. I am lucky enough that I dont have the â€Å"typical day† at BootstrapLabs. I am helping my company with investments, marketing, and business development, so my day changes very often. Venture capitals have very different phases of activities. Some periods, like last year, we have been very active investing in new companies, and I have been spending a lot of time on investment research to support my company decisions. But this year, for instance, we are more focused on supporting our portfolio. So, my â€Å"typical day† completely changed in the last few months. How did your studies at Hult help you on your career path? Hult helped especially with developing soft skills. It was also fundamental for my current career to learn how to work in a multidisciplinary and international team. Thanks to my experiences at Hult, I have also learned a lot about managing teams and finalizing projects with short deadlines. Do you still leverage your Hult network? I am still in touch with different Hult students and professors, and crossed paths with many of my colleagues in the last few years. Even if its hard to keep in touch with everyone after the program, especially because many people relocated, Ive had very positive experiences with my Hult network. Very recently for example, I met one of my friends from the Masters in International Business, and now we are thinking about starting a new project together. Furthermore, last month I invited one of the speakers to our annual Applied AI Conference thanks to one of my connections from Hult. What’s your advice to someone wanting to launch their own company? I am not a big fan of to-do checklists. And I truly believe that, even if there are many very good techniques for entrepreneurs today, in the real-world, building any business is much harder than how it looks in books. Every successful company will have different challenges to deal with and opportunities to chase. Be an expert in your industry, and try to build a great team before you start building any product. 99% of success depends on execution. Without the right people in your team, it will be very hard to build anything big. I also always like to say that starting or launching a new company is the easy and fun part. Scaling and keeping your company in business for many years is a completely different thing. Too many people focus on how to start, without thinking about how to scale. 99% of success depends on execution. Without the right people in your team, it will be hard to build anything big. Silicon Valley has been an incredible school for me, and one of the most important pieces of advice that I like to give to new entrepreneurs is: do the things that dont scale at the beginning. Do not build any structure on day one—keep experimenting before defining procedures and bureaucracy. At the beginning of the journey, what really matters is asking yourself and your team the right questions, identifying the right go-to market, and staying as close as possible to your potential customers. Define the pain of your customer, explore the solution, and remember that your product, market, and KPIs, will need to evolve over time. But your value proposition will stick around for many years. Focus on short-term execution, but develop your long-term vision based on your value proposition. What’s next for you? I will continue investing in AI startups and working at BootstrapLabs. I am very excited by this opportunity and Im in love with the idea of being at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution. I really believe that this is one of the major game changers in human history, and I really hope to be one of the leaders, helping the industry to develop technologies and companies that can improve our work, life, and—ultimately—society.

Cuckoos Egg Analysis Paper - 1600 Words

THE CUCKOO’S EGG BOOK ANALYSIS – TRACKING A SPY Suma Lakshminarayan Book Analysis Paper Professor Jon Clark Summer Quarter 2012 11 September, 2012 INTRODUCTION The Cuckoo’s Egg book is well written by Cliff Stoll. It was something like reading a horror story book. It was creepy, suspense, curiosity and scary too. The hacker every time breaks into a military system seemed to be like a ghost entering into the house and not like a thief. We know thief will definitely when he attacks a home he will for sure grab all things possible for him to steal. But this hacker was not doing just that, he was wandering in the system and making some creepy moves and disappeared. Many a times he would just come and go just to show†¦show more content†¦This proved the author that the hacker was obviously having all the sessions printed out and also copied on to a floppy disk. Here author calculates the distance between his computer and the hacker’s by the concept of sound travelled and its echo heard. This way he arrives at a result of 279,000 miles but since his technician Lloyd was very good at communications explains him about the de lays which occurred during communication between satellites and the earth, the hacker using a slow computer and the data transferred in the form of packets. Thus they land up with a result of 6000 miles. Another interesting way Maggie Morley cracked the word puzzle which led to a hint of hacker’s location. Though this is not physics approach, but definitely it is a different way of approach to solve a problem. Maggie gives the meaning of Jaeger, in German it meant Hunter and it was a name of a hunting bird. Hunter and Jaeger were the passwords used by the hacker. Hedgers and Benson were the name Cigars. So this lead to a conclusion that hacker must be somewhere in Germany and that he smoked. Dave Cleveland also gives a clue, which the hacker is not from the west coast. He comes to this conclusion by seeing the hacker type ps-eafg Unix command. This meant to Dave that the hacker didn’t know Berkeley Unix. The best way to learn new things is to make mistakes and learn fr om your mistakes and the best way to understand others is to put your legs in their shoes.

Comparing The Achaemenid Empire And The Imperial Stability...

Throughout human civilization, it has been invariably true that the ideas and innovations belonging to particular societies have been adopted by both concurrent and later cultures. This has culminated in remarkably advanced societies, whose success can be attributed to that of their ancient counterparts. Much of the prosperity of modern civilization can certainly be accredited to the Achaemenid Empire, a pluralistic empire founded in 550 BCE. At its peak, it stretched from the Indus River Valley to the eastern Mediterranean coast. Despite its diversity, the empire remained politically and societally united throughout its existence. The two major Achaemenid emperors responsible for the imperial stability and prosperity were Cyrus and†¦show more content†¦To retain the power that emperors would have, Cyrus instituted checks and balances in this political system; though satraps technically governed the provinces, the emperor had the power to institute legislation that applied t o the entire empire (Farazmand). Furthermore, the emperor would have the ability to appoint, and if necessary, remove satraps from their positions. This ensured the loyalty of satraps, as emperors could monitor them. This system of checks and balances resulted in a politically efficient empire, in the context of both legislation and appointing government officials. This efficiency encouraged Greeks and Romans to use similar techniques to manage their governmental systems, contributing to the stability of their respective empires. Romans and Greeks were heavily influenced by Persian administrative policies, establishing a satrapy system of local governorship (New World Encyclopedia Contributors). With the existence of administrative divisions, Persians were given province-oriented legislation by their satraps. As a result, however, it became harder for the general public to communicate directly with high-ranking Persian officials, resulting in some bureaucratic flaws. The Achaemenid Empire s standardization of land and sea routes solidified their bureaucratic system, inspiring Romans to do the same. The Persian Royal Road was constructed by Darius the Great in the 5th century BCE. It is considered to be the first

Health Hazards A Structural Model Of Health Behavior

Negative health outcomes plague most cities; things such as pollution, lack of exercise, and poor access to food effect most residents of cities. However, these things disproportionately affect minority groups living within cities. In the United States minority groups are often disadvantaged economically and as such tend to live in less desirable neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are typically near sources of pollution and the houses therein are old and may have lead paint or plumbing and electrical systems that aren’t update to date. Lead paint, lead pipes, and mold are all examples of health hazards lurking in the homes in inner cities. In the case of natural disasters these disparities become even more apparent. According to â€Å"A†¦show more content†¦People were trapped. Trapped due to lack of resources to get out in time. Trapped because they were unaware that they were in danger (Burby). The greatest cause of this was racial; minorities didn’t have the economic ability to protect themselves. New Orleans has been segregated almost since its founding as a French colony. After the land was sold to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase the patterns of distinct ethnic segregation arose. The wealthiest, white elites lived in the center of the city in the higher lands; and in the areas of higher risk nonwhite Creoles, who were not as well as whites but as poorly off as free blacks, settled. In the post American Civil War era many recently freed blacks flocked to New Orleans for the economic opportunities there. Many black people worked on the docks or as domestics for the affluent white people in the upper city, as such, it was convenient to settle along the river which as within walking distance of both the docks and the homes of the wealthy inhabitants of the city (Campanella). As the city developed into a modern metropolis the original patterns remained in place and contributed to the outcomes of Hurricane Katrina.
