How to Avoid Mistakes in Your MBA Application Essay.
Avi Gordon, of MBA Admissions Studio, looks at how to avoid making mistakes in your MBA application essay. In my book MBA Admissions Strategy I offer the following advice: “Proofread to show your hunger for admission, your real desire to be selected.”.Since many business school admissions officers encourage applicants to “write less, say more,” it is important to communicate your background and career ambitions in a concise and clear way. The essay gives admissions officers an opportunity to learn who you are, where you're going, what you have done and why their school is right for you.The Essay. In recent years we have made much of the Great Essay Slimdown, in which many business schools cut their number of required essays or reduced word counts. Harvard went down to just one essay two years ago, so there wasn’t much more slimming down the school could do, short of eliminating the essay altogether.
We provide custom essay services for high school, custom essay services for college and custom essay services for university. When I first saw the trailer for The Help several months ago I was not familiar with the book. Unlike most other essay writing services, we do not cut and paste into a standard format.Although you won’t get eliminated just for going over the word count by a little bit (50 words or so), what the business school is looking for in the essays is whether not a candidate can follow directions, and articulate his or her thoughts clearly within a given word limit.
Whether you want a personal or a professional tone in the essay depends on the school's culture, the word limit, and your profile's weaknesses. An applicant with a strong profile (GMAT, GPA, and Experience) might bet on going with a professional tone, spending most of her words on pre-MBA experience.
