I thought it would be straightforward when I started writing my MBA essays. After all, I knew my story... right? But I quickly got stuck. I spent days trying to sound both “authentic” and “impressive,” deleting more than I wrote.
Looking back, I wish someone had told me these three things before I ever opened that blank Google Doc:
1. Great essays don’t impress—they connect.
Admissions isn’t hiring you; they’re admitting a person. Focus on clarity, values, and self-awareness—not just achievements.
2. Structure beats style.
You don’t need to be a brilliant writer, but you do need to guide the reader. Think less STAR, more choices → growth → impact.
3. One draft won’t cut it.
Some essays took me 10+ tries—and that’s completely normal. Start messy. Get feedback. Revise. It’s not just a writing task; it’s a reflection process.
What’s been the hardest part of your essay journey so far?

What’s been the hardest part of your essay journey so far?
- Getting started? Choosing the right stories? Cutting down to 500 words?
- Or maybe you’ve hit a wall I haven’t mentioned, or figured something out that could help others.
