Please remember Business school admissions committees care about more than GMAT scoresand GPA. They want to know who you are and why you belong in business school. -From The Princeton Review

Do:

• Communicate     that you are a proactive, can–do sort of person. Business schools want leaders, not applicants content with     following the herd.

让学校知道你是个有领导力的人， 途径可以通过你的个人陈述， 简历和面试表现出来。

• Put     yourself on ego–alert. Stress what makes     you unique, not what makes you number one.
• Communicate     specific reasons why you're a "fit" for a school. Simply stating "I am the ideal     candidate for your program" won't convince the admission committee to     push you into the admit pile.

仔细看学校的官网，提炼出关键点说明你和这个项目很匹配。

• Bring     passion to your writing. Admissions     officers want to know what excites you. And if you'll bring a similar     enthusiasm to the classroom.
• Break the     mold. Challenge perceptions with unexpected     essays that say, "There's more to me than you think."
• If     you've taken an unorthodox path to b–school, play it up. Admissions officers appreciate risk-takers.
• Talk  about your gender, ethnicity, minority status or foreign background—but only if it has affected your outlook or experiences.

对于国际学生来说， 你的国际背景是一个优势， 但需要说明这个国际背景对你的帮助在那里。

• Fill your essays with plenty of real–life examples. These will support your thesis and bring your story to life.

在你的个人陈述中多加些例子可以提升你PS的可信度。

• Demonstrate a sense of humor or vulnerability. You're a real person, and it's okay to show it!
