How to Tackle the Dreaded MBA Application Essay

U.S. News & World Report recently posted a brief article looking at the best ways to tackle the dreaded essay question(s) included with most business school applications.

The full article can be found here, but we are going to list a few of the highlights.

  • Avoid writing an "accomplishment" essay. Aim for a highly personal and self-revealing response. 
  • Providing a genuine "back story" adds a nice touch.
  • Try to avoid focusing on your weaknesses and flaws. If you do feel compelled to mention a weakness, put more time and effort explaining what you have done to overcome that flaw.
  • Be honest, particularly when discussing areas of self improvement.
