大家对wharton第3题怎么看？

loafer

Tell us about a situation in which you were an outsider. What did you learn from the experience? (500 words)

这是个新题。有点不知道对这个outsider怎么把握。

有点想从culture difference的角度写，又觉得想从一个做cancer research的人 通过community service写cancer patients

不知道大家怎么想的。 大家交流一下

outsider是相对的。一个团队里会有一些人是处于类似于“猫头鹰”的观察角色，他们通常比较冷静、客观，善于发现问题、分析问题。举例来说，我觉得可以写在一个团队的环境中的risk management，你是怎么去identify别人没能发现的risk和take action的，同时还可以demonstrate your leadership。具体怎么写，也要看学校的style和preference了

呵呵，抛砖引玉。。。

en, good point, then instead of risk management, Can we also talk about how you find the hidden opportunity  and take action to domonstrate your leadership? Could this be a good way too?

Tell us about a situation in which you were an outsider. What did you learn from the experience? (500 words)

***New Question** This question is about adaptation and interpersonal skills. (Think about Wharton's learning teams. ) If you have an international setting to place the response, so much the better, but in my opinion the purpose of this question is to give those, especially younger applicants, the ability to show their adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and communications skills even if they have never left their home country.

据我所知，现在浏览这个网站的每个申请季全世界有近十万人次，其中如果有1000个人按照这个思路写的，就占了总申请人数的将近15%。如果这样的话，怎么standout啊？我觉得越是权威机构的评论，越不能照搬，否则死得很凄惨！
