Have you tamed an alligator?

Here’s a pro tip:

If you are working on your resume for your MBA application, check out class profiles like this awesome one from Yale School of Management. I love how they go beyond the stats to tell stories about the new cohort.

You'll read paragraphs like the following:

"Their hobbies include gardening, baking, bartending, and photography. Many play chess. There are pilots and personal trainers, brewers and escape room enthusiasts. One class member is a self-described hot sauce aficionado, while another is a self-proclaimed “moderately talented chef” who is also a classical and medieval history buff. One member of the new class won a competition for reciting the first 275 digits of pi. One founded an animal rescue group, while another co-founded a shelter for stray cats. One has visited almost all of the Disney global theme parks. One collects maps. One writes, directs, and designs sets for plays. One student founded an ed tech startup in Ukraine; another has tamed an alligator. The list goes on."

Business school is serious but your resume doesn't have to be stuffy.

Add some "spice" to it, so the school can get to know you. If I came across a resume that had "tamed an alligator" under activities, that would definitely capture my attention as an admissions reader.
