Why the lack of success?
I was too colloquial in my essays. I forgot that i am applying to b-schools. Actually i didn't forget but i wanted to add humor to my essays...but in the end my essays turned out to be cheesy cheap comedy :roll:

Maybe publish some quotes here. Interesting to read :-D .

The best thing I would point is that you understand your weakness + you have already passed GMAT. You have enough time to work on your application.

Just don't be overly formal; don't go from one extreme to the other. Settle somewhere in the middle.
