Hi,
I am applying to Fuqua EA. Have all the other essays written, but struggling badly with 25 random points. I have about 15 which cover interests, peronality characters, defining / life time events, passion, favorite book / movie. I have about 5 that to me (or the way i have written them) seem trivial - small events in my life of little significance but somehow memorable / oddities / favorite painting / photo. I am struggling to come up with the last 5 random points, because after thinking so much, these have stopped being random and are increasingly becoming "fabricated" where I am trying to show myself in a positve light. Also not sure how I make the seemingly trivial ones more relevant within the word limit. I have spoken to friends and family to fish out points. I have read my FB timeline to discover things, but now I am reaching my wit's end. Any suggestions? I am worried that I will write something and at the interview (if i am so lucky) they can pick those points and want me to elaborate, but will very quickly realise that they are not of significance.
same here.. but isn't the interview blind? (the interviewer does not get to see the whole app but just the resume)
none the less we need to dig deep and come up with something relevant.. i think giving it 4-5 days might help.. EA deadline is 19th Sept. so keep jotting whatever small things you can remember instead of freezing the essay..
