Prospective MBA applicants\nare always curious to know what it takes to get an admit offer from a top\nschool. We have seen that, initially, all applicants, even those with stellar\nprofiles, have no idea how to present themselves to the admission committee.\nHowever, with proper planning, brainstorming, and guidance that sometimes takes\nseveral months, together, we have been able to create applications that have\nearned them offers from their dream schools. \nMER (myEssayReview), is publishing case-studies of some of our recent successful candidates to top programs. Here is our\nfirst case study in the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
