“Applicants looking for the competitive edge in getting
accepted at the business school of their choice may want to peruse
this book.” –Security Traders Handbook
Every year, thousands apply for a finite number of places in
business schools. With similar grades, backgrounds, and goals,
sometimes the only thing that can make an applicant stand out is
the application essay. It’s the best chance you have to shine and
tip the balance in your favor.
Essays That Worked for Business Schools shows that the best
essays are brief, sincere, and personal. Some are off the wall,
some are bold, all are unique to their creator. One applicant
writes about starting his own airline. Another tells about the
corruption in his job as a defense contractor. And a third reflects
on his license plate. From the thousands submitted each year, the
forty essays in this book were considered some of the best by
admissions officers at the nation’s top business schools. As this
collection demonstrates, with creativity and effort you can turn
almost any topic into an effective, successful essay for your
business school application.
