Hi all,
Like many of you I'm in the process of writing my essays for application this Fall. The thought crossed my mind that it would be very valuable to learn about each b-schools' "personality" or values, to help emphasize certain accomplishments and/or write essays with an underlying theme & tone that would really resonate with the respective adcom. For example, an excerpt from
Your MBA Game Plan on strategy for applying to Berkeley:
Quote:
Indeed, the essay questions are indicative of a school that is serious about admitting applicants who can maintain almost paradoxical balances - applicants who are committed to traditional business learning, but display a bit of personal panache. Applicants who would be willing to stand alone based on personal conviction, but are willing to unite in the name of teamwork. If you can paint a picture of yourself that reflects these traits, in addition to satisfying the more common admissions requirements, then you stand a good chance of being accepted into the Haas family.
Would any current students or well-researched applicants like to provide similar strategy tips on what areas to emphasize for their respective school? For those already admitted, what aspect of your application do you really feel distinguished yourself amongst the pool?
