Kapil Bansal (MBA ’20) has always had an affinity for numbers. Today on the blog, we share how Bansal turned a useful hobby into a skill-building lab for his classmates. Darden’s student community is unique. Are you interested in starting a club? No problem! Do you want to organize mental calculation sessions for your classmates? Let’s try!
Although now a Darden graduate, Bansal plans to host a virtual mindfulness workshop this year, sharing this practical skill with other Darden students. For prospective students, Bansal said, “If you are enthusiastic about student-led initiatives and have that entrepreneurial spirit, Darden offers you many assets, including an inspiring community and intellectual capital. Darden is the perfect platform to bring your ideas to life in a risk-free environment.”

Undergraduate Calculus
The first math hurdle that candidates for an economics degree must overcome is the requirement of calculus. Some students will have taken a calculus course or a pre-calculus course in their high school courses. In most cases, coupled with sufficiently high marks in the entrance exam in mathematics, it will allow the student to enroll in this course of calculation.
However, for students who did not take these courses in high school or who are unfamiliar with the subject, they must first take a preliminary course in college-level algebra or trigonometry.
Some students who jump directly to the calculation requirements are adept at doing so. For others, this leap from high school math to college-level calculus is difficult to manage. Students who have not taken many math courses should take a college-level math course or work with a mentor if necessary. It is important that students pass this difficult math lesson.
HBS is looking for leadership. What are the main ways you have seen your leadership stand out in MBA applications during your time at HBS?
What is interesting in recognizing the “habit of leadership” is that it can be expressed in different ways. Of course, there are more typical examples: your class president or your team captain. And these are certainly wonderful and useful. But it can also be shown less formally and without a title. You can organize and manage a holiday gift drive or start a new journey of service with your friends.
