Anthony made an impact by nurturing his talent and sharing it with others.\u00a0 Lianna creatively turned a writing hobby into an entrepreneurial venture.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare your story:<\/p>\n<p>1. Listen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To clips of prior candidates<\/li>\n<li>To <a title=\"&quot;This I Believe&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/thisibelieve.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">\"This I Believe\"<\/a> or <a title=\"&quot;This American Life&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thisamericanlife.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">\"This American Life\"<\/a> to hear how people tell their stories, so it doesn't sound like they are reading it off a page.<\/li>\n<li>Don't take notes while listening.\u00a0 Rather, wait until the clip is complete and write down the details that really struck you, that you remember.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>2. Make a list.<\/p>\n<p>Do not go further back than college. What were the most important experiences in your life? Out of these, which one demonstrates personal progression? Impact on others?\u00a0 An entrepreneurial plan?<\/p>\n<p>3. Outline your story.<\/p>\n<p>You'll notice that most successful application clips follow this structure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear, catchy introduction<\/li>\n<li>How you became interested in this aspect of your life<\/li>\n<li>How it has enriched you personally<\/li>\n<li>How you have had an impact on others through this activity<\/li>\n<li>Catchy conclusion that refers back to the beginning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>4.\u00a0 Write . . . revise . . . and remember that humor doesn't hurt!<\/p>\n<p>Refer back to the notes you took when listening to other pieces.\u00a0 In your outline, think about your own experience and write down striking details.\u00a0 Then go back to the beginning. As you write, speak aloud. Use language that you would actually say in normal conversation and sprinkle in a little humor if you can. When you're done writing, time yourself reading from the page.\u00a0 Continually revise until it is within the accepted time length.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, remember that the arc of the story--showing personal progression and impact on the world around you is the MOST important.\u00a0 Even if you can only make a scratchy recording, you've nailed it if you write well.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for Part III in the series: Content is King or (Queen)! for Video.<em>By <a title=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/aboutus\/editors.aspx?editorid=26\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/aboutus\/editors.aspx?editorid=26\" target=\"_blank\">Michelle Stockman<\/a>, who worked in the Columbia Business School admissions office, has a Masters in Journalism from Columbia, and has assisted Accepted.com clients applying to top business schools since 2007.
