I wrote one story (abstract), and summarized several personalities from that story, then linked each personality to MBA or Fuqua.作者: chipmunk 时间: 2003-12-9 07:17
I think your personality definitely should be backed up by your stories. Otherwise, it's just a statement.作者: cthd007 时间: 2003-12-9 08:38
some pro's tips for your reference:
Don't Say Too Much. Just tell the story! Your introduction should not be so complex and so lengthy that it loses the reader before they even start. You have the rest of the essay to say what you want. There's no need to pack it all into the first sentence. This leads to the next tip…
Don't Start Your Essay with a Summary. If you summarize, the adcom does not need to read the rest of your essay. You want to start your essay with something that makes the reader want to read until the very end. Once you have drawn the reader in through the first one to three sentences, the last sentence in your introductory paragraph should explain clearly and briefly what the point of the whole essay is. That is, why you are using this person, place, or thing. What does it say about you?
Create Mystery or Intrigue in your Introduction. It is not necessary or recommended that your first sentence give away the subject matter. Raise questions in the minds of the adcom to force them to read on. Appeal to their senses and emotions to make them relate to your subject matter.

cthd007, your suggestions are really great. I will try to improve my left essays according to your recommendation.
as for the Q3 itself, I wrote several short stories telling my background, my experience, my passion, my hobbies... don't know if that way works. anyway, one thing I really think you should demonstrate is your team spirit, as they really value Team Fuqua very much!
