标题: TERRIBLE Essay [打印本页]

作者: Abigale89 时间: 2003-3-3 20:08 标题: TERRIBLE Essay

It could be ignorance, or it could be sheer lack of creativity. But, I come across these common essay disasters all the time. Here are things you would do to write a really really bad essay.

Difficulty Level: Easy Time Required: a few days

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's How:
Get your friends' essays that worked last year, modify them and pass them on as your own writing.
Surf up free essay samples and make them your own.
Use a lot of buzzwords to show how 慽n?you are with things - globalization, megatrends, intrapreneurship, disruption, convergence, synergies...
Include a lot of acronyms to demonstrate your competence - .NET, G2C, WAP, XML...
Throw in a lot of business jargon. After all you are applying to business school - MBO, corporate governance, core competence, competitive advantage...
Add platitudes to show how wise you really are - give and take, win-win, enable success, management is the art of getting things done...
Use the thesaurus extensively to 慺lowerize?your language and demonstrate superior communication skills ?ameliorate, behoove, supererogatory, accoutrement...
Pick up stuff right from admission material. Might as well tell the colleges to read their own brochures, rather than have them ask questions like 慦hy do you want to join us??LI>

ay essay writers and trust them to do the job. What do they know about you? Getting someone else to write effectively for you can be tougher than writing it up yourself.
Have great essays for all essay questions, but make them sound like they are talking about different people.

Tips:

The above How-To is about things that you should not do. These are common mistakes made by poor admission essay writers.
Not all of the points mentioned above are strict No-Nos. If it seems like the right context, if it seems coherent with the rest of the application and if it seems relevant, use it.
A lot of the errors listed above are made despite good intentions. But, think of it from the admission officer抯 point of view. She/he reads the same kind of stuff again and again.
Though having essays written by others is unethical and also undesirable, you can still get someone to proof, edit and comment on your essays.
