Differentiation from your "bucket"

<p>Anyone have meaningful (beyond the obvious) thoughts on how one might differentiate themselves from the bucket they will be dropped into when applying to B school?</p>

<p>E.g. how does the i-banker differentiate himself from the other legions of I-bankers applying to b school, how does the consultant differentiate himself from all of the other consultants applying to b school?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help and / or insight you might be able to offer.</p>

<p>(for transparency, I'm at a mbb and planning to apply to schools next year and want to maximize my chances at one of the top 2)</p>
