ESSAY WRITING TIPS

ApexWriters can not promise you the admission, we provide you the right platform, inspire you to write great essays and ensure that the right people review them from the perspective of admissions committee. Various schools have different opinion about the how important are the essays for admission process. Some schools will say that personal records speak louder than the words and others may feel that essays are the heart and soul of the admission process.

We trust that getting into a top Business school is much more than a GMAT score and grades. You may have years of professional work experience but can still fail to capture the attention of the admission committee.

Writing a B-school essay is not about being the best writer not about showcasing your work experience in 500 words. It is a unique blend of strategic thinking and common English skills. Applicants ignore certain crucial points while drafting their application essays which can make their profile worth consideration to the admission committee.

ApexWriters share certain pointers with prospective applicants to help them write meaningful drafts:

  • Start with strong introspection and analysis.
  • Keep up your thinking cap and start this process well in advance.
  • Do not do a hurried job just before the deadline.
  • Try and understand he question.
  • Do not beat around the bush, try to answer what has been asked and refrain indirect answers.
  • You should do your research about the school and show in your essays that you have gone beyond the website to know about their community and school.
  • Mention specific examples where necessary.
  • Do not parrot out whatever is written on the website.
  • Understand school's mission statement and try to see if your goals blend with that.
  • Tell the school that you have done your homework.
  • Do not go with what the school is looking at.
  • Tell your story honestly.
  • Reveal enough about you.
  • Do not leave anything for the admission committee to guess.
  • Give them the clear picture of your personality.
  • Do not try to be funny when you are not.
  • Maintain your usual tone and do not go overboard with creativity.
  • You should be clear about your career goals and why do you want to do an MBA now.
  • Try to relate your past experience with your present accomplishments and study plan to future goals.
  • Do not forget to tie your career goals to the school.
  • Do write about your individual achievements.
  • Do not write your detailed resume but write how MBA fits in your goals.
  • Do not write irrelevant details but use your good judgment with examples which make sense.
  • Write in details about your accomplishments and what have you learnt from them.
  • Take the advantage of the additional essay and use that space to highlight the aspects of your personality which have not been covered anywhere else. Here, you can address some obvious weakness like low grades or gap in employment.
  • Do not bank on your writing skills only, ask your friends or mentor to give you a second feedback.
  • Do not loose your voice while editing.
  • Proofread your essays.
  • Do not exceed the word limit.
  • Take time off and come back to the essays again for a second look.
