Hi GMAT Club, great forum here. This is my first post and I hope to keep it rolling ![Smile :)]()
My query is regarding a recent dilemma. I am preparing my profile for those deferred admission programs (specifically ISB's YLP, IESE's YTP, Yale's Silver Scholars, HBS 2+2 etc.)
On a recent summer project, my mentor offered me to continue the work I was doing for an entire semester, and he would get that work published in a decent journal. I wanted to know if having a paper published boosts my MBA profile in any way? Is it just a bonus or a massive boost?
All help is appreciated. I look forward to contributing!
