Sometimes it's not about whether you mention it or not, it's more about how you present it... For example, "team work": I know everyone will say that, but my take is: as you'll spend >70% time with your classmates or teamates, you actually learned more from them than from professors. So, a challenging but friendly culture will encourage you to try, to take risk and learn. One more thing I realized after I joined Duke was the "diversified" student background. Though I was focused on investment, in real world, the fundamental analysis is more based on your understanding of different industries and business operations. This will benefit your career in the long run, and you'll never get chance to have such in-depth discussions with your classmates from various industries background after you leave school. |
