Cross cultural experience essay

Hoping to complete this today.
Once I have worked on the other essays I will get some time to think of Essay 3 about Emory's core leadership values.
Meanwhile, some useful links I have found today
http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/content/feb2006/bs2006029_7305.htm
This is by Paul Bodine. Has anyone read his books?
How are these?
Need some recommendations before i start ordering these books on flipkart..
one more interesting link i just stumbled upon.. can be used just as a guidance as we explore our own unique examples

Nice article by Brett on how to network the crap out of the top schools

I hope to follow his advice.. sooner rather than later..

apparently you can reward yourself 3.5 points more if you are a female.. ha ha...
its that crappy.. sorry.. no offence but maybe this is the first time in life that i should be happy about being a woman???
if it works in my favor , then hell yeah!!
Am happy to be a woman ... but that alone does not qualify me for b school..
Have to work my A off as much as others do ...
and have to justify my place in class there..
so i dont think adding these 3.5 points to my profile if I am a woman matters in any way!!
