This part of your application process is so important
that it deserves a section just for itself. By now you may already have a
good understanding of your career goals and be ready to write a lot about
you. Remember that no one at the admissions office knows you so your essays
should describe you well.
The Book we've cited before is essential for these steps. "How
to Get Into the Top MBA Programs" has most of the frequently asked
questions and the best approaches. There are also several examples of
successful essays so you can understand what the admissions office will be
looking for.
In some essays you may find extremely hard to write more than one page. In
others you'll have to limit yourself to the maximum number of pages
required. Remember this is not about size, but about content - if you
feel a 2 pages essay will address the question then don't feel forced to
write more. Remember that admissions office read thousands of essays and
sometimes an essay too big may get boring. Try to make your essays easy
and enjoyable to read.
After you're finished, your essays will need some review. Start by asking
your friends and work colleagues to read your essays and ask them what they
felt was the message of that essay.
Now you are ready for a professional review. Most of the
times you'll find yourself very insecure about your essays and having
someone with experience on Business Schools essays reading and reviewing
them is the best way to ensure top-quality work.
Now you may be ready to submit your applications and for
the long and never ending waiting time.
We hope this Guide has helped you through the process of
applying to Business School.
Good Luck !
