Best tip for prospective BBA student. How can someone really stand out?

Be unique. Be yourself. Don’t start a business just to get into Ross.

Stretching or exaggerating your stories in the application can make you come across as someone who is not genuine. Look less to impress, but instead convey passion for your real interests and pursuits.
