ii) Leadership Potential: Evidence of taking initiative in extracurriculars, community work, or professional settings.

2. Stage 2 (Video Submission): If your initial application is shortlisted, you may be invited to submit a 2-minute video relating to the values of the Adam Smith Business School. The deadline for this video is usually shortly after the round closes (around May 26).

5. Important Checklist
