ESSAY准备新手问题请教

albert · 发表于 2003-8-14 02:33:00

准备申请schulish business school in canada.. dealine是Oct 1st.
也看了一些ESSAY方面的书。。可是总觉得自己写的东西非常别扭。。

想请教：
1。除了这里，还有哪些非常好的推荐网站可以提供ESSAY方面的建议和帮助的

2. 如果自己写完了，再请人改（我不认识专业和有经验的MBA申请者，所以请的人可能也就是句子和语法方面修改）这样申请到学校的概率大吗？？是否大家一般都请专业机构进行修改（好贵啊！）？？？

3.如果请专业机构修改，在北美有什么比较好的专业机构或者网站吗。。一般的服务是如何？比如我准备一些材料和文章雏形，它帮我彻头彻尾改还是只是给我建议，让我自己改。。收费如何。。

不好意思。。时间紧。。一点头绪都没有。。还请各位一定帮忙。。知道多少都可以给我建议，我非常需要！！
非常感谢！！

There are many companies in the US providing essay editing services, such as accepted.com. The ways they work are different. Prices are different as well. However, I don't suggest my friends to use such kind of services if you want to write exceptional essays. They have so many clients that they just cannot focus on you. Plus you are the person who knows youself best.

They can help you write the average essays though.

Some companies will talk to you for a couple hours before starting the whole process. For each essay, the consultant will talk to you for about one hour, and decide which example to use. Then they will give you an outline. You write the first draft. They refine it for you.

So my suggestion is :

1) use google to find out some general guidelines for MBA application essay writing, such as "mba essay edit". Get some basic ideas and big pictures.
2) discuss with friends in CD
3) decide whether you need the editing services or not

thank you for you detailed and perfect answer...
but I would like to ask one more question:

how do you think chance of being admited by business school if writing essay myself and just ask somebody to smooth my sentence and correct grammer errors?
I don't know whether most people got offers, generally, at least have their essays edited by professional agent or experienced MBA?? If so, maybe I should have to pay for editting service to guarantee my success. Since though, as you said, I am the person who know myself best, I am not the person who know English and Essay best.

Let me try to add my $.02. When we interview our CBSF member, someone told me that he knew his essay has some grammar issue, but he thought schools would understand that English is our second language. Later on he got interview invitation from Stanford. Second, you should also think of your AWA essay. If you AWA score is not good, but your essay seems shining, adcom might take a look at what your wrote in your AWA essay.

albert brother, I don't think it is a must to have some professional essay editors to help you write your essay. If you have read the interview scripts posted in this forum, you will see that many successful applicants did not do that.

However, suggestions from other people can be helpful. In my opinion, two types of people may provide necessary help for you. First, the people who know you well. They can provide you some insights into yourself. Second, the people with good English writing skills.

Regarding your chance to be admitted, it really depends on your background and how you present youself.
