Hello guys,

I am struggling with my essay writing. Any advice?

Is there a forum for critiquing my essays for free?

Thanks in advance

You can get Richard Montauk's book - "How to get into the top MBA programs". Depending on which schools you are applying to, some alums that still post on the forum might critique your essays. You should do a search. I am applying this year for Fall '08, but can critique your essays if you like, just PM me.

Read the threads for the schools you are applying to, a lot of these threads contain discussions on essays. They also are the best place to ask specific questions.

yup, lots of advice and Q&A for each of the UE/Elite/Trans Elite/Near Elite schools around. Check it out and ask questions there. Friendly GMATClubbers will answer and some may even critique your essays for you! :)

Speaking of that, Kry I just finished your Kellogg stuff and will be writing up a scathing review for you.

I've used Gurufi as well. I would definitely recommend Brian. I am not a native speaker, so Brian has done an absolutely great work to keep the essence of the essay and turned into a beautifully written piece.
