I wish to mention learnings from the coupious time i spend on learning online privacy ,security and anonymity for my b school (MBA) admissions interview. Can I market is as a cybersecurity internship. But Cyber security has a different meaning altogether. I’m pretty much at the advance stage of the privacy journey( read all prominent books, understand techlore and others in the privacy community. Help me structure a pitch around it.

I don't know what "privacy" you know but I can you a reference of what cybersecurity I know. I had a Cybersecurity course and it's more focused on compliances to standards like ISO 27001/PCI-DSS, regulations like CCPA/GDPR, risk assessment/management, BC/DR, and more. Cybersecurity have a broader meaning to me and essentially a safety net to make sure plans are in place and not let the business down from normal operation.

I would break it up into different catagories.

Your interest in digital privacy is something you can use to talk about your interests and what drives you.

The skills you learned from it is something you could use to supplement how you have progressed other relevant skills for your degree or job your applying to. Be specific about what you did and what it taught you and how its relevant.

Start doing some write ups and post them on your site or medium or [blog platform here]. Put your site URL in the header on your resume, and on your homepage, prominently link everything up. Also get a GitHub presence going in privacy related projects.
