I guess a PhD in Music doesn’t really teach much about self-confidence or any useful practical life skills. Melissa acted as if she just graduated from her undergrad during the interview. Choose the type of degree that you’re pursuing, people, especially if it’s a post-graduate level degree.
I would cite a male leader that I admire if I actually admired them. Why constrain her choices of heroes to women? Should Asians only have Asian heroes?
my take is the person you cite should have similarities with you in some way so that they can envision you becoming that person or close enough - it's not about nationality or gender. could be the fact he/ she went to the same school/ company/ overcame the same challenges growing up.

Every university admission seeker should see these episodes.Great!
I’m curious to find out where she got in
She ended up not getting an MBA
Odd how she’s struggling in this interview when she’s a professor at an Ivy

No

Oh no...she has not done her homework. :(she needs to throw away all the buzzwords and think of more compelling reasons for doing an MBA
She's super nervous
