What was wrong with the first 12 applications:n

  • I was writing generic answers and submitting the same application with minimal changes
  • I was applying to too many schemes without deep research into any of them
  • My examples were descriptive — what I did — not achievement-focused

nnWhat changed for the three successful applications:n

  • I treated each as the only application I was making that cycle
  • I researched obsessively — read the annual report, listened to earnings calls, found alumni
  • I rewrote every answer completely from scratch for each company
