MBA Essay Course

Sometimes in writing essays, applicants make the right noises, including "leadership" "communications skills," "teamwork," and "analytical abilities." They may even embellish their essay with a rhetorical flourish or two, but their essays are flat and empty. They completely fail to represent the authors' qualifications, personality, or attributes.  

In reviewing and critiquing applicant essays, I have identified five fatal flaws that doom applications to the ding file. They are:

  1. Lack of substance – nothing demonstrating the qualities claimed.
  2. Failure to answer the question.
  3. Clichés.
  4. Superficiality.
  5. Muddled thinking.

If you want to eliminate these five fatal flaws from your essays, sign up for Accepted.com's complimentary five-day email course. Rid your writing of these defects and learn how to write engaging, revealing personal statements and application essays.
