anonymous Questionable Extracurricular Affiliations for MBA Applications Will adcomm view an applicant's affiliation with a group (i.e. Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces) as a negative? If a candidate has a leadership position as a board member where he/she is helping to organize philanthropic events for this organization, will it hurt his/her chances at the school? We are talking about a non-profit, philanthropic organization that sends aid and relief to thousands of people across the world; however, I am aware that there are certain people who may take involvement with this kind of organization the wrong way. Simple question: is this ding-worthy? Will it raise eyebrows? Make the adcomm "blink"? Any help would be great. Thanks! {{ 1449809620266+1-1 | date : 'short' }} general Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
