Business School Essay Help

Hello,

Is there an area on this forum for this? I have written my essay - still revising - but I want to gain some critical feedback.

Thanks, Anthony

There isn't an area on this forum, and I actually would suggest that you avoid posting the text of b-school essays on line (anywhere). You really don't want some unscrupulous person to plagiarize your essay. You also don't want admissions people to see earlier drafts of it.

I would suggest several different route for getting feedback:

1) post ideas or outlines for an essay in the admissions consulting thread on this forum and ask for high-level feedback.

2) ask a friend who's good at grammar / editing to give you advice on the actual text of the essay

3) find another friend who's not that familiar with whatever story you're trying to tell in the essay, so that s/he can read from the point of view of an admissions officer (that is, someone who doesn't already know your story) and tell you what makes sense, what is compelling, where there are gaps, etc.

4) hire a professional editor to provide grammar / editing skills

5) hire an admissions consultant to provide guidance on the whole thing (everything from the overall story to the grammar)

d'oh - I'm sorry! There is, in fact, a B-school essays folder, down in the Admissions Consulting section. I didn't know it was there! :) (But I still stand by what I said before - I wouldn't post my draft essays online.)
