Each year, about two-hundred thousand business school applicants will write two-hundred thousand different answers to questions like these. Half will be rejected everywhere they apply, while a select seven percent will gain admission to the nation's top schools. With the competition prepared and qualified, setting yourself apart requires more than just blockbuster GMAT scores and glowing recommendations -- it requires powerful, well-reasoned application essays.
Whether you're pursuing a full-time, part-time, or executive MBA, your business school admissions essays will be the decisive factor distinguishing you from hundreds or even thousands of applicants with comparable work experience and academic credentials. To be successful, your essays must not only address your motivation and qualifications, but also map your career ambitions to the mission of the school, while at the same time painting a vivid picture of your leadership ability and character -- one that compels a busy admissions officer to accept you.
