Please remember Business school admissions committees care about more than GMAT scoresand GPA. They want to know who you are and why you belong in business school. －From The Princeton Review
Don't:
- Write about your high school glory days. Admissions committees don't care if you were editor of the yearbook or captain of the varsity team. They expect their candidates to have moved onto more current, professional achievements.
- Submit essays that don't answer the questions. An off-topic essay, or one that merely restates your resume, will frustrate and bore the admissions committee. More importantly, it won't lead to any new insight about you.
一定注意写essay的时候要回答题目所问的。 听起来很简单， 但是确实碰到过不少申请者希望简化申请流程， 就复制粘贴其他学校的申请文章。 这个很容易让录取官对你有不好的印象。
- Fill essays with industry jargon. Construct your essays with only enough detail about your job to frame your story and make your point.
如果你的essay中都是行业术语， 这肯定会让录取官读起来非常不解， 对你的录取也没有帮助。
- Reveal half–baked reasons for wanting the MBA. Admissions officers favor applicants who have well-defined goals. However unsure you are about your future, it's critical that you demonstrate that you have a plan.
- Exceed the recommended word limits. This suggests you don't know how to follow directions, operate within constraints or organize your thoughts.
不要超过字数限制也是公平的象征
- Submit an application full of typos and grammatical errors. A sloppy application suggests a sloppy attitude.
这个对于国际学生来说尤其重要， 让你的朋友帮你通读一遍，一篇语法有问题的文章， 怎么能让面试官相信录取你是个正确的选择呢。
- Send one school an essay intended for another—or forget to change the school name when using the same essay for several applications. Admissions committees are (understandably) insulted when they see another school's name or forms.
- Make excuses. If your undergraduate experience was one long party, be honest. Discuss how you've matured, both personally and professionally.
- Be impersonal in the personal statement. Many applicants avoid the personal like the plague. Instead of talking about how putting themselves through school lowered their GPA, they talk about the rising cost of tuition in America. Admissions officers want to know about YOU.
- Make too many generalizations. An essay full of generalizations is a giveaway that you don't have anything to say
- Write in a vacuum. Make sure that each of your essays reinforce and build on the others. Think of each statement as one note in a song.
