Wharton Essay #1

Please, any NiuNiu Help me with this.

For Wharton essay number one, it asks for your career path that leads you to the decision to apply for MBA, as well as how will Wharton MBA benefit me.

My problem: 1000 words is really hard to state my career path to today. Should I focus on stating my accomplishments and elaborate in detail in other essays, or give detail of one or two accomplishments?

Stay online waiting for help. Please Please urgent.

这个题目学校关心的是Why MBA, Why Now, Why Wharton. 重点还是在这三个Why上。自己的成就可以结合在这个三个问题里，职业经历捡相关的，重点的说。

把你的语言精练，没有办法，hbs还要你400字写出来呢，那才真的是挑战

还有2天就是deadline，这也是挑战。-

1000自几乎是所有学校中对3 why最宽的字数限制了。除了语言精炼，再有就是别写成个人奋斗自传那种，再洋洋洒洒阐述自己的济世情怀。专注在Why MBA, why now上，注意be personal。

Good luck with Wharton.

highlight your key accomplishments that "lead to" your decision to apply for MBA

if you feel that there are other things you definitely have to mention, put them in the "optional essay". even in that case, try to be concise.

good luck.

sounds silly but actual. I am always worried not reaching the words limit. 1000 words, I just couldn't find so many things to write...

我也面临过类似的减肥问题，把文章从1100多字，最后减到850个字。感觉非常有成就感。感觉剩下的字个个都不多余了。
楼主2天要写出这篇申请中最重要的文章，时间太仓促了。我的why MBA改了7稿，另外一个重要的是一定要经过一定的时间，这样才能够思考、反思。我推荐这么仓促就不要申请了，200USD！

I just feel the same way. I started with only 500 words. Take me days to expand to 1000 words. And those 500 words essays, I finish them in 100 to 200 words. I have to add more and more detail to get close to the word limit.
Real envy those who can write thousands and thousands words. For me, trimming down is much easier. Just take out parts that are not directly related.
